Nature Walk 3

For this nature walk, I once again returned to the Res. Due to this week's focus on plants, I had to look at the area from a new angle. When previously there, most of my focus was on the animals and just the most colorful plants. Now, I made an effort too focus on plants that weren't the most colorful or noticeable, but had unique characteristics. This, combined with the suggestion to look for the 4 main types of plants, led me to document some plants which I normally would have overlooked. Such discovery is related to our in-class discussions of taxonomy and organism classification. By learning more about the categorizations of plants and the specifics of their diversity, I was able to find examples of them in nature and enhance my outdoor experience.
