15 minutes in nature 🙂
Today I visited my phenology spot and spent 15 minutes of silence there where I observed my surroundings . It was really quiet and there were some noises from birds in the trees and flying around, a squirrel in the shrubs, the water from the stream, and the wind going through the trees.
Phenological Changes
Compared to two weeks ago, very little of the vegetation is the same. There are some dead trees that have partially fallen over and some of the vegetation such as the ferns and grasses have died. Most of the leaves have fallen off all the trees except for the Eastern White Pines, and some of the White Oaks. The white oaks were short in height and had orange and red leaves. In the eastern white pines, there was a birds nest that my friends said was there last time. There was also lots of dead organic matter mixed with the mud on the ground. This included fallen leaves, pines, pinecones, grass, and some of the dead vegetation.
