During the nature walk, my two classmates and I walked through the outskirts of campus to the back roads of neighborhoods between Boston College and StarMarket. The day lacked sun, but it was a pleasant temperature as we walked in our sweaters. The Fungi and Lichen were surprisingly prevalent and fun to look for. We found many blending into the falling leaves, in the nooks of trees, and generally in patches. I will keep my eyes peeled for fungi in the future, as there was a lot of biodiversity and richness of species that I did not realize I was missing around me on campus and nearby.

I took a nature walk into the Pine Tree Reserve near the Reservoir with a classmate in the afternoon when the weather was a bit gloomy. The temperature started dropping into the low 60s, and the sky was overcast. The plants seemed to be getting to the end of their summer season cycle. On a side note, I was impressed by the variety of plants in such a small area as we discussed evolution in class. Overall, the walk was very nice as I got to sit on a bench for a bit and enjoy the scenery.
