Today, I walked through the paths of Edmands Park, which is right behind the Newton Campus, where I live. I went by myself with some headphones. It was a little bit chilly with a little breeze and no sun. I really enjoyed this walk; it allowed me to take a step away from the monotony of school and just walk around nature for a little it. There were a lot of trees and small vegetation that grew around the pathway. I noticed that lots of the fungi or lichen grew near the base of trees or on dead logs. I found it really interesting how there are so many different types of fungi in such a small area. I would never have known had I not been looking for fungi.

Today, I took an uber out to the Webster Conservation Area after my flight. It was sunny and a tad bit chilly. I went by myself and explored the area. The area was beautiful as all the trees were beginning to change colors. While many of the trees looked similar from afar, I noticed that there was a good amount of variety and differences between the different trees as I got closer. This conservation area was really nice. There is definitely a lot more that I could have explored, but I was getting tired. It is a really nice conservation area that I would definitely recommend.
