HW #5 Spring Observations

Flowers and Fruits:

Several flowering plants were observed: eg. sunflowers, California Lilac. Among these, most of them are already started to have fruits (berries) at some parts facing the sun. This may indicate the spring is now coming fast to its end due to the sudden rise of temperature early this week.

Animals:

A dragon fly was observed during a walk to the lake in Golden Gate Park. It was taking a rest at a plant close to the water before flying off to the lake side. Several of them were observed flying near the lake sides.

A snail was found at a wet stone in the shade. It might be a little dry that day, but this snail was able to find itself a moist environment and get some spring breeze.

Several birds, mostly sparrows were found at the grass land. They were trying to find some insects or ripen fruits that might be underneath the half-dried grass.
