This week we went to San Bruno Mountain and China Beach. At San Bruno Mountain we found a mushroom, a banana slug, a bunny, a snail, and other creatures that we weren't able to catch a picture of because they would run away. We went to China beach on the way home from my work and it was incredible. I had never been to that part of the beach because the tide is usually too high. I saw anemone for the first time in my life and it was so cool. We also saw a lot of barnacles, crabs, kelp, seaweed, and sea snails. It was amazing. I struggled to get good pictures of the crabs because they kept running away. I now need one more phyla so we will probably go to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve next week.

This week we did not go anymore because we are finished with collecting phyla. This week we are planning to go to the beach to take pictures of more phyla to be extra cautious. I am hoping to find either jellyfish or sponges.

While we went to both Mt. Tamalpais and the beach, we did not find any species that were worth taking pictures of. It was very fun to go to both though, and the weather was perfect. Even though this was our last week of the iNaturalist project, I am still planning on using the app for fun and to find out what species the plants and animals I see are. I am excited for more adventures.
