For the spring semester I decided to continue to return to Centennial Woods. When I visited this place today, it was raining. It had also recently snowed which means that the conditions were very icy. I noticed that there was almost no green except for moss on decomposing logs. You could also see through the forest a lot more since the understory is mostly tree trunks and there is little shrub material. There was less snow in my spot than some other areas in the woods. Likely because the eastern white pines provide a good shelter for the forest floor. Below, I am including some pictures of what my spot looks like today.
The stream at my spot was also flowing very fast. That is likely because of the recent snowfall and the snow beginning to melt, as well as the rainfall that is happening today.
I also observed a weird phenomenon on a few trees where there appears to be bubbles forming along the bark of the tree. It looks a little bit like someone spit on the tree.
