Plant Walk, October 14th 2020

Yesterday I took an evening walk around the Newton Campus. The sun was setting and it was getting darker. It also rained the day before, so it was still a little damp inside the woods. The main thing I noticed, as most would in fall, was the different colored leaves. I observed most of the leaves on the ground were the brown and orange ones, and the leaves in the trees were more commonly green and yellow. I enjoyed looking at all the different types of trees, and never really thought about the diversity of just trees in a small area. Two specific trees were very interesting to me. One tree observed to be a Beech tree had a very interesting color bark and were very tall and beautiful. The other tree I wasn't sure the genus, but the bark appeared to have a braided texture which was very unique and beautiful.
