Walk on 9/30/2020

On my first nature walk, I took a very enjoyable walk around Webster Woods/ Hammond Pond. I went in the late afternoon, and was pleastantly surprised by this spot that was pretty close to campus. The weather was almost perfect, despite raining this morning. It was sunny, but not too hot. I saw many great plants to take photos of, and I even found what I believe to be a type of fungi. The algae on the pond was especially interesting to me. I went with 2 of my roommates, who enjoyed the walk just as much as I did, taking a break from all of the stress of midterms. We also saw a couple other people walking around, and even saw some dogs.
