Map

Above you can see a brief map of my plot of land. This over head view shows many of its main features, including a path, a sand bowl, fallen trees and large trees.

Todays date was the 24 of November. Today it nearly reached 50 degrees which is rather unusual for this time of the year in Michigan. I went outside around 12:40 to my 30 by 30 area. It was a beautiful day out. It was dry and sunny and warm. the length of day has gone down significantly with it turning into winter and the day was only 9 hours and 27 minutes long. A lot had changed sense the last visit. There was no longer snow on the ground and there was almost no leaves on the trees. I saw no snow on the ground and I only felt the crunch of leaves and twigs under my feet. I heard the sounds of the builders near by but other than that it was quiet in the woods.  Here is another sketch that I did - I choose a picture of one of the pine trees in my area. These unlike other trees keep their leaves and they stay green all year long!  Here is the link to my document that I have been using to compare my visits -    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wp7xu3nIu5cYjPSjSm9gHQ...

 Todays date was October 30. It was colder but not too cold. The weather was dry and around the upper 50's in the after noon. I went outside at about 6:30 while it was still light out. The sun has been setting earlier and earlier so I have been having to get out there before the sun goes down to get good pictures. There was little to no wind today unlike the previous week witch contained lots of harsh winds. today was only 10 hours and 23 minutes long. it was fairly quiet when I went out there, I did hear some rustling leaves as I walk as well as some animals probably squirrels or maybe even a deer nearby walking through the woods.  Here is also the link to my document of tables where I compare the leaf color and leaf fall of each of my visits    -  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Wp7xu3nIu5cYjPSjSm9gHQZ5C4Xv61Q6rV4OiAGeeK0/edit North  East  South  West

 Here are pictures that I took from North, East, South, and West facing the same tree in my previous posts and below are notes about what I noticed.  North side  East side  South side  West side  Todays date was 9/27/22 and pictures were taken around 5:45 pm. The weather was cold and cloudy and roughly 50ºF, there was also some rain throughout the day so everything was wet. The length of day was 11 hours and 55 minutes. I heard some birds including a large bird that I saw as I was entering the area that flew off. I noticed a few things had changed around the area. In the last picture of the West side, you can see a branch that had been broken off and the leaves were changing colors, but mostly everything else was a lot alike. This time is was much wetter than the last time because it had just rained. As I looked around the area and studied the tree I was wondering when the leaves would start to change color, because fall had come I assumed the trees leaves ...
