Second Nature Walk 6/17/2021

For my second nature walk, I decided to stay in my neighborhood because I thought it would be cool to observe all the plants around me. It was a beautiful day outside. It was 85 degrees and sunny without a single cloud in the sky. I walked just about 2 miles over a 35-40 minute period. Throughout the tenure of my walk, I noticed several things. I thought I would have had to look harder and deeper into properties to find these plants, but I noticed most of them were right there in the open. Similarly, I noticed a large number of insects and flies. For example, I noticed with the more colorful plants that more bees would be present, most likely using them as pollinators. In addition, I noticed that I enjoy the more simple plants. For example, my favorite was the singular dandelion I found amongst a bunch of other plants.
