Today I decided to visit one of my classmate’s sites, Centennial Woods! I ended up at Lydia Emry’s phenology spot and really enjoyed the adventure. I’m already a little familiar with Centennial Woods from our first self-guided exploration and also trips I’ve taken with friends, but I haven’t been in a little over a month, so it was super interesting to see what has changed.
I really enjoyed spending time by the brook Lydia wrote about, and I completely agree that it is a calming environment for a stressful day. I also noticed some of the vegetation she wrote about, but there were hardly any leaves left on any vegetation. Mixed with the rainy/overcast weather for today, the barren trees made for a sort of ominous feeling in the forest, but it was beautiful at the same time.
