Plants Nature Walk (Reservoir)

I thought that finding just plants somewhat dull, so I tried to spend some time looking for a few other organisms. Though, to be fair, the plants I did come across were interesting. I noticed that on some trees, the leaves were already changing colors, perhaps due to the recent cold weather. However, my walk around the reservoir was actually quite warm and pleasant. There was an abundance of small chipmunks and squirrels running around, gathering the nuts that littered the ground. In the middle of the walk, I found a few small arachnids, clinging to my clothing. I had taken a small rest on a bench, and noticed a small red mite on my pants. A few minutes later, a spider appeared on the bench next to be. It was tiny. I also realized I was starting to have a runny nose and puffy eyes, likely due to the pollen being released all around me.
