I wanted to practice drawing nature from a different perspective so this is my attempt at drawing ferns from a close up perspective. <\/summary>\n

It has finally and officially changed seasons in Vermont and as my first ever winter I get to explore how nature changes close up, which is an opportunity Im very appreciative of as I would not know where to even start if I wasn’t in Vermont. Temperatures have dropped significantly now and the landscape reflects the cold atmosphere all around with dark browns and greens being the only colors showing against the white of snow. In the East Woods Natural Area, the majority of trees are now bare of leaves and the dominance of pines such as Eastern Hemlocks is much more obvious. Parts of the ground are covered in snow and ice from the snowfall over the past two days however the majority of the ground is covered by leaves that have accumulated over each other over the past few weeks. The leaves that are still hanging on are curled and seem as though they will fall off very soon such as what I saw with a few beeches. I noticed that with Winter the sound of the water from the brook is much more prevalent. There is no sign of any vegetables or fruits as well as the presence of animals. Animal activity has decreased almost completely aside from me hearing an occasional bird call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aspect that I enjoyed most about visiting my phenology place was how relatively silent it was. Burlington in general is not that loud, at least compared to my hometown, yet there is always the sound of human presence. In East Woods I was always able to think introspectively and really reflect on my surroundings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
