November Nature Walk

 

DSCN8801

At the end of last summer we read that we would have a November Nature Walk Comparison Walk. The challenge was to walk a familiar trail and see the differences in late Autumn as compared to spring or summer. This is our first year in town – so we don’t really have any “regular” walks. We chose the Spring Lake Open Space to take some before and after shots. The first shot is November 24th, the second shot was August 9th.

The boys said they didn’t see any fuzzy doggy bombs.   . . . nice.  We did see quite a few mushrooms. Since the temperature has dropped, the ground was frozen with a few snow flurries here and there. There was less moss. No berries. No Alder Leaves. The Water as higher. The Trail Muddier. Only one sound of chirping Squirrels. No birds.

Nate threw a pebble in the water to break the mirror so I would move on. 🙂 He wanted to go to the Skate Park and take photos there of the “bowl” full of frozen water. There wasn’t any water in the bowl  . . weird???
