It was a nice day outside to take a walk in the woods! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"17\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/tempImageWgzv7R-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/tempImageWgzv7R-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/tempImageWgzv7R-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/tempImageWgzv7R-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/tempImageWgzv7R-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/tempImageWgzv7R-105x140.jpg 105w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/tempImageWgzv7R-scaled.bmp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the view from one of the edges of my spot. You can see how all the leaves are on the ground now and some are crowding the creek too. Although it is fall now and most of the leaves are down, there was also a huge storm last night so there is an excess of leaves blown all over and tons of trees fallen down too. Some of the sugar maples still have a few leaves on them, but they are yellow and will probably drop soon. Winter is rapidly approaching even though it is somehow 70 degrees today. It was interesting to see how the land has slightly changed since I was last here. Now that the leaves are down, I can see farther to the other side of Centennial Woods. There is a small clearing across the creek that I can see now, and I saw some Black Cherry trees that I had not noticed before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also had to draw a bird&#8217;s eye view of our phenology spot. The large clearing is part of the main pathway of the woods and it leads into my area which is mostly filled with pine and hemlock trees. Now that the leaves have fallen from the few oaks and birches, it is easier to see the sugar maples on the other side of the creek. I also drew some logs to represent the fallen down trees from the storm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_0002-1024x709.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_0002-1024x709.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_0002-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_0002-768x532.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_0002-202x140.jpg 202w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mmurph62\/files\/2022\/11\/IMG_0002.jpg 1418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the only major change was the leaves dropping to the ground.
