**On 2/13/12, I saw a tree that I do not know the name of. It was a bare tree with no leaves it was a lighter shade and I titled it kingdom plantae. It kind of looks like it has spikes.I also took a picture of a coastal live oak by my apartment to show that the tree has leaves.
**I also saw plants that were bare and that included the California blackberry. I had assumed it was poison oak because I didn’t know the part “if it is hairy, then it must be a berry” and I did not see any berries or flowers that bloom from it. I did see a plant similar (it could have been the same plant but all the flowers were dead). A plant that was flowering was the lemonade berry and toyon. Both are producing both berries and flowers.
Mammals: I was in VLSB area and as I was walking I was able to capture a picture of a fox squirrel. These a commonly seen on campus.
Birds: I was just sitting down eating my chips for lunch when the two gulls came around me. They wanted some of my food.
Insects: My housemates keep flowers inside of my apartment and lately, I noticed that we are becoming infested with Lady Bird Beetles.
Plants: While I was walking on Canyon road, I saw a french bloom plant. I loved how bright the yellow colors stood out in the slope full of green plants.
Fungi: After seeing the fox squirrel as soon as I turned, I was a white mushroom on the floor. I still am learning about identifying species but I put fungi as the name of the observation.
