I came back to Houghton Garden, and this time around, the garden looked completely different. There were mountains of brown leaves all around, and you could see through the entire park due to the lack of leaves on the trees. This also made the garden much windier as there was no protection from weather elements, like what we discussed with the Mangroves in class; it was so windy that branches kept falling around me, and one nearly hit me. I couldn't find any animals apart from a large flock of birds in the Weber Conservation Area, where I went to find some animals/insects. It was hard to capture decent pictures of them as they were high up in the trees, and the T kept passing through and scaring them away. Reflecting on why I didn't see that many animals or insects, I've concluded that the cold weather might be why I only found birds on my walk. I didn't even find a single squirrel which on my previous walks was a constant, and I could always count on seeing a few. I found fungi in abundance; now that the trees didn't have as many leaves, I could enter new areas easily, and there I found many fungi. Lastly, I noticed that Houghton Garden had much less foliage than the Weber Conservation Area, which, surprisingly, still had some green.
