Today was quite gloomy and cold. Snow covered the trail but it’s evident that many people have been here recently from the countless footprints. This was the first time I visited and have seen other people there!
Almost all the trees are bare except a few lingering beech. I did notice a change in one particular tree that I’ve been documenting. The buckthorn by the stream. It’s branches have lost all of their leaves and it’s berries have turned from a dark purple to an orangey red.
I was hoping to see some animal tracks but unfortunately I didn’t find much more than an occasional dog print. This was what I was expecting anyway as I haven’t seen much of any animal presence in the past here.
What I Love About This Place:
Centennial Woods is one of my favorite spots because of how conveniently close it is to Trinity campus. Just a short walk away, it’s a perfect place to relax after a stressful last week of the semester. I also enjoy that there are never too many people there. It always so quiet and calm. I’ve grown to love my trips here and look forward to coming back after winter break!
