Homework 8 (extra credit portion)

For the extra credit, I decided to do assignment No. 2 for Homework 8 this week. I found seven (7) observations at and around the sight of my moist evergreen forest assignment (homework 3) and my chaparral hike to see how things have changed.

There was a lot of change near the moist evergreen. my favorite part was this plant, like a coniferous plant, that had these new lighter green tips on each of the leaves. I thought that was really cool, and maybe an example of spring regrowth or something.
However, the big trees like the pines and redwoods didn't really seem different, i guess because they're deciduous so therefore have leaves year-round.

Similarly, the chaparral seemed very much the same as well. At least, more the brush plants. There were a few plants (like this one with red leaves/flowers) that obviously showed signs of spring regrowth.

finally, i walked around campus a bit just to snap pictures of plants that were clearly in the midst of spring flowering. just to see a difference between the mostly barren campus of winter and this new one in spring.
