First Nature Walk Post

Today I walked for around 30 minutes around the Pine Tree nature path next to the Plex and halfway around the Reservoir. Today's weather was a bit chilly however it was sunny with a slight breeze. It was nice enough for a lot of bees to be flying around. While I was walking the nature path, I noticed a lot of cool plants that weren't in bunches but just individually in a certain area. They were very easy to spot except the fairy ring marasmius. The fungi I found today was hidden in a lot of grass and I found it interesting that a lot of fungi grew in groups and only in certain areas. The path was very navigable and after the path I went onto the Reservoir trail. There I found the really cool berries that were in colors that I did not know was possible. The colors really fascinated me because they were light blue, purple, and almost yellow. It reminded me very much of Easter. It was a great experience and I had a lot of fun looking at all of these plants and organisms.
