I could barely get to my spot this week because of all the water! I trudged through the puddles and mud to find my spot completely submerged. The rocks I usually sit on were underwater. I walked around a little and tried to spot the buds on the trees! I definitely found some, which was cool to see the transformation from when I looked at the trees earlier in the semester until now. I forgot my camera so I couldn't take any photos, but I found some pictures on the wondrous internet to help visualize what I saw!
I found a red maple and the buds were swelling! They weren't as red as this yet, but here is the general idea of what it looked like.
The Cedar trees also had some buds on them.
The American Elm buds were starting to sprout.
The red pine and white pine didn't have buds, but they had the start of what I assume will eventually be pinecones! It is very cool to see this transformation over time. I will miss going to my spot when the semester ends, but I know I'll still visit every once in a while!
