The leaves in this spot have all fallen and are crunched up on the ground. There are still some ground cover ferns, but not many. It had just rained so the dirt was wet and I saw dog footprints, but no traces of wild species. The animal activity increased, I saw a squirrel.
I enjoyed seeing how my phenology spot changed throughout these few weeks. it was interesting to notice that most things stayed the same, the vegetation just wore down as it got colder.
