Nature Walk on October 9, 2022

Over fall break I took a nature walk for about 45 minutes through the fields around my house in Pennsylvania. I went on this walk with my dogs and my dad. It was an overcast day and was around 50 degrees. Nonetheless it was still nice to get outside and see the beautiful fall scenery. I saw a multitude of plants, but the ones I saw most often were angiosperms. Even though all of my species were angiosperms, I was amazed to see the biodiversity within one main group of plants. I saw flowers, berries, vines, and trees and surprised to find out that all of these plants flower. On the plants with leaves, I was able to see that the leaves had a cuticle, which prevents the plant from drying out. It was great to see the remarkable biodiversity that can be found right around my own home.
