Wonderful Weather

So i ventured out into centennial this last monday and yesterday, and both days were just beautiful. Unfortunately, because of the record rainfall, it was quite muddy at some spots. Also, the camera i borrowed wasn't working, i thought because of the low battery because it wasn't taking pictures, but i later found out that you sometimes have to take the lens off and put it back on. I would have had some awesome pictures since i saw my first garter snake monday, along with a set of tracks in the mud by the water. It was a four toed foot, with very skinny appendages. Weird. While sitting, i noticed the sprouting ferns, grasses and buds on the trees. The area below my spot, close to the brook is filling with water, as usual when the weather warms, and the swamp area plants are beginning to show up. I heard over twenty different distinct bird calls, but did not see any other than the usual chickadee, i did see a robin at my spot for the first time, but it was in mid flight. Sunday there were too many people in centennial for my liking, which hindered my enjoyment of being surrounded by the outdoors. All the plants i've been watching sprout are growing strong, no tracks yesterday but plenty of insects which is cool. What's not cool is that i saw my first mosquito yesterday, as it tried to attack me. I was very disheartened to see them out already. Waters continuing to fill in by the marsh. Next time out i'm bringing the camera, because i keep missing all these awesome opportunities for pics. Of course, if i do bring it i wont see anything cool, but it'll be okay. Thats all for now!
