For this nature walk, this was the first walk where the weather turned to fall. It was in the mid 50s with a slight breeze. The sun was behind clouds the entire time. It was a stereotypical fall day. The leaves on the trees were just beginning to either change color or fall off the branch entirely. I tried to find and identify all 4 types of plants on this walk. It was easy to identify the Bryophyta and Angiosperms as I know what both moss and flowers look like. Other than moss, I had no idea if a plant was a Polypodiosida or a Bryophyta. The Gymnosperms were also hard to tell apart from the Angiosperms at first as well. Without looking closely at the plant, it is impossible to tell if the flowering plant had a seed. While for both of these issues for me came up, at the end of the day I thought I had found all four different types of plants. Even though my allergies may have spiked on this walk, I found it really interesting and kind of fun to tell plants apart from each other.
