After sitting in my sit spot for 15 minute with no distractions gave me a whole new perspective of this phenology spot. I could hear the birds chirping, people walking by in the trails, and the leaves moving in the wind. With no direct input in my ears(i.e. music), I can listen to the ecosystem around me and be able to hear the disturbances in the woods. Sitting in this spot on the bunker, I can feel the cold stone underneath me and the leaves of the plants brushing up against my back. Sitting in the silence is reconnecting me to the nature around me. It is bringing me tranquility and solace. The cold is grounding me and it is alluring me to stay. Looking around the changes over the seasons is evident. There are more dead leaves on the ground. The leaves on the trees have changed to a light or dark orange while some remain a light green. The plants that surround the bunker still remain green and continue to grow.
