It was a great feeling to be back at Oakledge Park, it almost feels like I never left in a way. Few things throughout the area have changed significantly, some being the addition of freshly fallen snow, or the iced over frozen bluffs on the shore of the lake. Slowly but surely, I observed the lake beginning to freeze as the chunky blocks of ice floating in the water surfed over the waves. Vegetation was little to none as the forest was populated with stick like plants, and woody trees with evergreens spread thoroughly throughout.
While walking around the woods I found several signs of wildlife including different sets of tracks, and even a heavily trafficked route that they tend to use for travel. I was unable to find any sort of mysterious clues in the snow like a landing owl our anything along those lines, however the mystery I did leave myself with is figuring out which animal species has been making these different prints in the snow.
