Nature Walk: October 8-17

I went to the Chestnut Hill Reservoir for the first time for my nature walk. I went in between my classes on Thursday in the mid-morning. The reservoir was very nice to walk around, and there were people walking their dogs or just going for a walk around it as well. The only downside was it was pretty chilly and the wind was pretty strong, making it feel even colder. As for the plants, there were a bunch of different types of plants on the side of the water, along with lots of trees and plants on the outside part of the path. The trees were starting to change colors which made for a scenic walk, and more interesting than the usual green. Overall, my walk was enjoyable and I saw many interesting plants, and even some geese/swans.

all photos fit with the plants theme. Lasted the full 30 minutes. Journal entry was interesting and descriptive. 10/10.
