9/29/21 - Houghton Garden

This morning I went to Houghton Garden on Suffolk Road near campus. I got there at around 8:30am and as such it was a bright, cool day when I started walking around. Before I actually entered the garden, I observed two squirrels around the corner of the street and managed to get a picture of one of them. The garden itself was incredibly calming and peaceful, and all I could hear was the chirps of birds, the flowing of water, and my own footsteps. And the occasional train passing by. In the garden, I found various species of fungi, trees, and flowers that I made observations of. I also observed a cricket that moved onto a nearby rock as well as a duck in the pond across from me, though I had to move around and wait for a bit to get a clear image of it as there was foliage blocking me from most angles. The general area of Houghton Garden is certainly small, but it has enough diversity to make the walk around feel longer than it actually is. Overall, I greatly enjoyed my time in Houghton Garden and would like to visit again when I have more time in order to make more thorough observations.
