Module 5: iNaturalist Nature Walk: Plant Theme

For this week's nature walk, I had just gotten home for the first time sine Easter, so I walked on my usual walking trail close to my house. It was during the morning, so the weather was nice around high 70's and cloudy. It was really nice being back on that trail during the summer, because all the plants were back alive and colorful compared to how they were in the winter when I was on the trail last. During the walk, I was able to find a good variety of plants, but not a lot of animals. I found it difficult to identify and understand what type of plants I was observing, but I still felt much more knowledgeable than I did before exploring the tree of life. Additionally, I could not find any gymnosperms, but I think it's because there are not any in this specific area, and I would have to travel a few miles to find them. Furthermore, it was difficult to find nonvascular plants like moss. I think this is because of the dryness of the area. The trail is not a particularly damp area for plants like moss to thrive, but I was able to find a semi dried up creek, which had some moss still there. This nature walk was really beneficial in the way that it changed my perspective on a walk that I go on consistently. It helped me really take a step back and observe the organisms that live around me during this routinely activity.
