The foliage has changed drastically in the last few months. There are little to no leaves on the trees, and even the leaf litter scattering the ground is missing. There are a few small bird nests high up, but it looks like there are no inhabitants. Animal activity has decreased, as there are little to no tracks in the area.
Some aspects of my phenology place that I enjoy the most is the view on the water. Since Salmon Hole is in the middle of businesses and other urban buildings, it’s nice to see the natural space in the middle of it all. I also love how there were steps put in to help hikers navigate the hilly area, which makes it more accessible to be seen. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed visiting the past couple months, and I’ll miss it during winter break.
