Today I went for a walk for about 30 minutes in the woods/park next to Newton campus. It was a sunny day, but the trees offered shade in various areas. I began in an open clearing, which consisted of many interesting plant species. Then, I wandered further into the woods along a trail, which had many benches to sit on as well as hills and creeks to explore. In this deeper woods area, I found many fungi as well as different insects, such as spiders (not photographed). I did not find many animals, though, except for a few passing squirrels. Most of these animals and insects I found would not be interacting, and they all were simply doing their own thing. Overall, this was the perfect weather to walk due to the sun and the slight breeze, and I enjoyed the scenery of the trees in Edmands Park. It was especially interesting seeing all of these different aspects of the phylogenetic tree of life in nature, since I encountered various types of species. The plant diversity offered a unique look to the landscape, especially.
