On this rainy April morning, I headed out to my beautiful Phenology site in Centennial Woods. Though there were no spring wildflowers beginning to poke through the leaf litter, there were ticks. The ticks were out and in full force. Several of the trees, however, have begun to flower, including Red Maple, boxelder, and American Beech. Below you can see my drawing of the bud of the Red Dogwood that had just begun to peak out at my sight. Since the snow has melted, my site felt Dewey and alive with springtime.
