My new phenology spot is my house located in Dallas, Pennsylvania. My house is near a reservoir, which is owned by the government, so the area isn’t overdeveloped or inhabited by many people. The photos I took around my house and backyard are snow covered, due to having some snow while I was home over Thanksgiving break.
These photos are from around my house and the view of the reservoir from my house. Compared to my phenology spot back in Burlington, my new phenology spot is much more open and wider, since I live on an old farm. Some of the species are the same, but many are different. There are paper birches, eastern hemlocks, and eastern white pines in both locations, but in my new phenology spot there is a pin oak, Kousa dogwood, and Japanese flowering crabapple. Here is a photo of the Japanese flowering crabapple blooming in spring. Overall, my phenology spot at home varies much in both species composition and landscape compared to my phenology spot in Centennial Woods.
