First Nature Walk

I took my first Nature Walk today with my friend Lisa. We walked through the wooded area across from the plex! The weather was slightly chilly. This made me wonder when the leaves would begin to change and adopt their autumnal colors. The leaves in this area were still green, but I am assuming that they won't be for long! There were many trees in this area, and even more plants springing from the ground. Most of these plants were leafy and green, however, some of them were colorful berries. This area was wild and reminded me of the woods by my house at home. One thing that saddened me was the cans and trash scattered throughout the terrain! Lisa and I tried to clean up as much as we could!
My observations are linked below!
