Back to the Tree…
In slight exhaustion, my friends and I traveled to our phenology spot following our NR002 lab (also located at Rock Point!) to visit our trees again, and there were a few exciting changes that not only showed on my tree but also signs of spring!
The green grass, the mud, and the slushy snow all displayed that spring is heading this way!
My Tree!
I didn’t notice any particular changes on the bud, and the rainy weather may have dampened the bud given its darkened appearance, one change I did notice is a change in the moss ( I’m not entirely sure it is actually moss, but that is my best guess) has grown in size on the trunk of the tree.

Increase in “Moss”
Friendly Chirping!
The birds are back, and are singing to us to welcome the spring!

Until Next Time…
As it is warming up, becoming muddier, and the green is slowly infiltrating our lives again, it is evident that changes with become more evident. As springtime becomes more and more prominent in our environment, I am excited to note the changes at Lone Rock Point ( and I can’t complain about the sunshine!)
