NOVEMBER MAP<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The peak of fall color has passed, and most trees are bare. I almost slipped several times on my way down the steep hill to my site because the ground was so covered in leaves. The assignment for this month was to sit quietly and observe the surroundings and to make bird\u2019s eye view map of the site. I sat on a log about a fourth up the side of the ravine. It was peaceful to just be in nature and get to know the site a little better. The biggest thing I noticed was how much farther I could see into the forest now that most leaves are gone. There were still a few Norway Maples and one American Beach holding onto their leaves, but most had lost so many it was hard to identify them. The ferns look a little less green than the last time I visited, but the mushrooms are the same as before. I got a few startles when I heard rustling from behind me, but it was only squirrels scurrying around, getting ready for winter. The air is cold and most of the decomposing smell that filled the air in early October is gone. The water in the stream is still flowing the same as before, although some of its path has gotten slightly clogged by fallen leaves. The whole open center of the site is covered in a blanket of yellow-brown leaves and I\u2019m interested to see how they\u2019ll look after the snow melts in the spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
