This is the location of my place! It is a place I occasionally stop at during my runs to look out at the harbor. Grape Island a Boston Harbor Island is about 400 meters away across the channel. The Hingham ferry boat will head through here when going towards the port at the North End in Boston. I will kayak from a beach 5 minutes away from my spot with my brother sometimes and cross the channel to head to the island!
Comparison of My Place at Home and My Phenology Spot
I picked this place because it is very special to me. I usually sit and listen to the waves or music and look out towards Boston or at the beach below. I didn’t think about it but I again picked a place on the water. My place at home has less trees but more wood plants that can withstand the force of the wind. The meadow in the spring is usually filled with yellow flowers and weeds that can live in the rockier soils of the cliff. The landscape of my place is not like the cedar filled ledges of Rock point. In my spot there is more fertile soil that can support the grasses and different kinds of flowers on the cliff.
