Walk on 10/7/2020

I went to the Webster Conservation Area, and I had a nice walk as a break from the busyness of the school week. It was starting to get cloudy and dark, and I could feel in the air that a storm was coming, which is here now as I listen to the thunder from inside my dorm. It began drizzling just as my walk ended, so I was thankful that it held out while I walked. There were a lot more leaves on the ground compared to last week, it truly felt like fall on my walk. I saw a random dog running around, who had a harness on but no owner. I saw quite the variety of fungi, in line with the theme of this nature walk. I enjoyed looking for fungi, especially because I never really notice it in comparison to the plants and occasional animals.
