Funky or fun foliage?
Entering the park, you could immediately notice that there was quite a drop in temperature as compared to the first blog. The walk itself was easy and enjoyable as usual, with a slight breeze at the beginning of the trail as well! However, there was also a lack of noise, very few birds were heard and even less seen, as well as other small critters and animals. It’s clear that the season is changing and the animals are preparing for the cold winter to come.
Many of the trees had lost most if not all their leaves, the few that remained were consistent of coniferous trees, Sugar and Norway Maples, a few Basswoods, and least of all, Green Ash. All of the trees that had remaining leaves were yellow in color or had a brown curl forming on them due to impending DEATH.
