This weekend, I went back again to visit my American Beech tree. I’ve been visiting for a couple weeks now and I think this is the first week where I am seriously seeing some changes. Starting off, my visit to Centennial was so relaxing and amazing. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and the snow has finally melted from the forest. It reminded me of the first time I ever found my spot and I was so happy to be back to that feeling. On the way to my spot, the best possible thing in the world happened also. I saw.. drumroll please…. MY FIRST CHIPMUNK OF SPRING!!!!!! It was actually amazing and the best thing ever and I am so happy that they are back out again. It was also really muddy, but I had my hiking shoes on so it was fun to stomp through it.
LOOK AT HOW CUTE!!!! :))))
Below are some images of my tree:
I feel like today, especially because it has been warmer and the sun was shining, that there has actually been a little change. I feel like the buds are longer, more pronounced, and slightly more yellow. That was the largest change I observed. The bark is still as usual, and I think it is so funny that there are still dead leaves holding onto the branches.
And finally, there is my naturalist post 🙂 <3 ☆
