Phenological News Roundup

21Apr07

Violets, heal-all, dandelions, and gill-over-the-ground have been in blossom for some days.

The many trees that budded out before the early April snowstorm show the effects of that freezing weather. The pink magnolia in our yard was in full bloom. The ruined flowers are still on the branches.

The cold snap had silenced the peepers but yesterday (April 20th) I heard them again.

Phenology:

--the study of cyclic and seasonal natural phenomena, esp. in relation to climate and plant and animal life (Oxford Amer. College Dictionary).
Place:

"One definition of place, proposed by geographer Yi-Fu Tuan, is that a place comes into existence when humans give meaning to a part of the larger, undifferentiated geographic space. . . . Some places, however, have been given stronger meanings, names or definitions by society than others. These are the places that are said to have a strong "Sense of Place." Places said to have a strong "sense of place" have a strong identity and character that is deeply felt by local inhabitants and by many visitors. . . . Such a feeling may be derived from the natural environment, but is more often made up of a mix of natural and cultural features in the landscape, and generally includes the people who occupy the place." --from Wikipedia
