Today I went on a walk around the reservoir right by campus. It was a gorgeous day outside, right around 70 degrees with a little breeze. There was a lot of different people outside, running, walking, chatting, etc. In terms of my observations, I was surprised to find so many different types of berries while on my walk. Just while walking in that small area I was able to find three that looked completely different. There were also many different types of bushes and trees along the side of the path, as well as tons of different smaller grasses and plants along the waterline. I also saw some chipmunks, swans and other birds, but many were too quick for me to take a photo. It was very relaxing and enjoyable to get outside on such a nice day and take a break from working.

Today I went on a walk around the neighborhoods behind upper campus. It was another lovely day outside. It was a little warm, but partly cloudy and with so many tall trees it was a super nice temperature in the shade. Though there are a lot of organisms that aren't wild, I was able to look closely at my surroundings and find a couple cool naturally occurring organisms living all around the more developed area. It was very relaxing to be outside on such a beautiful day, and I would definitely recommend going around these neighborhoods as a challenge- it's definitely a little harder to find non-captive organisms, but it was a fun way to appreciate all of the organisms we may pass by each day without even knowing.
