The characteristics of my sight in centennial woods are vastly different from the last visit for many reasons. Recent storms in the area and the changing of seasons have been the driving force for changing characteristics in my area of focus in centennial woods. The 6 organisms that I photographed characterize my site perfectly. The worm and the slug live in dark wet places upon the banks of the river and the moss just like the worm and slug, it needs moisture. The trees and shrubs that I photographed show that the river cuts through forested lands. The vegetation that I have seen at my site has changed over the past few weeks, the weather has gotten colder causing even more leaves to fall off the trees, and the storm that we had yesterday the grass had been washed out and matted down flat. The banks of the river have changed a great amount too due to the increased amount of storm water in such a short period of time. The bends in the river had gotten much wider and the straightaway by the shore had gotten smaller due to a greater amount of sediment being deposited. while mapping out my place I had to really think hard about the way the land and the river flowed, it helped me deepen my connection to my place because even the little changes like the dead bushes or flattened grasses, I was immediately able to pick up on. When I saw how much my site had changed, I was baffled because it changed so rapidly, the bends in the river looked as though they had widened by almost 3 feet. Also, the storm seems to have affected the wild life because there was almost no evidence of any recent land animal activities.
