The most obvious phenological changes were the changes in foliage and the pond&#8217;s water level. Below is my sit-down sketch, instead of the water level being high enough to cover most of the area, there is now a little stream. I would have thought this would have been reversed with all of the rain we&#8217;ve had recently and the melting snow. I have become pretty familiar with this spot, the major landmarks are the pond and bridge I try to see if there are any prints in the mud each time I visit but the majority of the time it seems to just be dog prints. While walking there I always pass by the same woodpecker holes as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2550\" height=\"1434\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/Scanned-Documents-4-edited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/Scanned-Documents-4-edited.png 2550w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/Scanned-Documents-4-edited-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/Scanned-Documents-4-edited-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/Scanned-Documents-4-edited-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/Scanned-Documents-4-edited-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/Scanned-Documents-4-edited-2048x1152.png 2048w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/Scanned-Documents-4-edited-1568x882.png 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2550px) 100vw, 2550px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-darkgreen-color has-silver-lighter-50-background-color has-text-color has-background\">nature and culture are intertwined here because its a place people can come to appreciate the natural world. Same with any space you would consider part of the environment or green space including a potted plant can create a deeper connection to nature. It also allows us to reflect on where we are. My spot, for example is on Abenaki land and I am able to understand the history and culture of Vermont and grasp an even deeper connection after what Iv&#8217;e learned in this class. I do consider myself as part of my place. By visiting it it has encouraged me to come more and more often and I genuinely enjoy my time here. By spending time in this spot I have an impact on the land and feel a need to make sure its taken care of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"158\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0654-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0654-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0654-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0654-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0654-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0654-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0654-1568x1176.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0655-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0655-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0655-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0655-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0655-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0655-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0655-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0653-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0653-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0653-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0653-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0653-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0653-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0653-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"162\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0666-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-162\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0666-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0666-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0666-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0666-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0666-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0666-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"161\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0676-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-161\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0676-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0676-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0676-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0676-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0676-1568x2091.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/smadruga\/files\/2023\/04\/IMG-0676-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-darkgreen-color has-silver-lighter-50-background-color has-text-color has-background\">It was really nice to start seeing progress and green leaves and buds popping up.
