Hey Blog! Today, walking back to my phenology spot it was a bit more challenging than usual, that being there was snow-packed ice, but even though it was stressful as I tried not to slip, it was fun sliding around on the ice with a friend who had a spot nearby. There was something so different about my phenology spot this time, I looked all around and it just looked so bare and barren, I could see everything around and the trees looked droopy in a way. It kind of made me sad, missing the beauty and joy of the lush warm weather but I know its only a few months till then, so for now I will frolic in the snow.
During my walk to my spot I actually walked right passed it, not reckognizing it because of how it looked as I described earlier. But I turned around walked back and started to observe. I noticed that everything look very open, no more bright gree ferns popping off the ground, not too much color, and there were many tracks. Although mostly human and dog I tried to walk a little off the path without destroying the other tracks there, and found a few deer and bunny tracks I believe (although I forgot to picture and it could just be snow dropping on the ground).
