During this phenological explanation I took a bike ride starting at my dorm room on Redstone Campus, to Rock Point on Lake Champlain. My specific route took my past the women’s soccer game where they won the championship! I then rode to the nearby apple orchards where there a a couple fresh ones left to eat. After biking through some more gardens, I made my way downtown to Church Street where I saw a few street performers including a man playing guitar. I also observed small birds jumping around the ground. From Church Street, I rode to North Beach where there were lanterns being set off into the sky. It was truly a beautiful and peaceful moment. At the north tip of the beach, is a small trail leading to my final destination of Rock Point which is one of my favorites spots to watch the sunset and just spend time freeing my mind. Here, I observed many fallen leaves on the ground, chipmunks scurrying around, and the last of the migrating birds flying overhead.
