Today I visited my phenology spot as a little break in between my work. It was nice to focus my senses on something other than my work, especially after such a busy weekend. Super thankful that the weather was nicer today. It was around 52 and sunny, which is a great change of pace from the rain we’ve been having the past couple days. This rain resulted in the soil surrounding my spot to be more saturated, and the river’s velocity seemed faster than when I previously visited this spot. There was still a great deal of vegetation, but most of it has changed color with the drop in temperature. The ferns were notably yellowed, they were previously green last time I visited. There was much more debris on the ground, mostly fallen leaves. I left my spot feeling a bit more calm than I was when I arrived there.
