Nature Walk 2

I decided for my second nature walk to go back to Bartlett Arboretum and Gardens, the same place I did my first walk. The same group went with me, my dog, and mom, and we decided to take two different trails from our first trip. The temperature was colder than last time, making the walk more enjoyable; it was 75ºC during my walk on Thursday. The walk started at 3:10, and we walked for roughly 30 minutes this time. I took A little more observations this time and saw different ferns, angiosperms, and gymnosperms. There were fewer gymnosperms on the walk, but I still saw one or two of them. I like walking at Bartlett even though I wish there were more land, but still, it has great trails. Nature walks are more entertaining when you can classify plants from an angiosperm and a gymnosperm or whether the angiosperm is a monocot or dicot. These walks are rewarding, and I love that this is an aspect of this class.
