Walking Near My Dorm
For my nature walk I decided to walk behind the dorms on Newton Campus. I chose this spot because it is a very green and vibrant area (or so it seemed before I walked). In reality, it was not as vibrant as I’d hoped, but I found what I could. There was a lack of fungi or animals, however, there was a vibrant array of colors in the trees and leaves. The leaves could be bright green, or yellow, or orange, and sadly, even brown. Fall is truly here and the leaves will show it. This is the unique point where the leaves are an arrangement of all colors, not only brown. Some leaves are still alive and well, while others are dead and brown. I enjoyed seeing this unique state of fall that we are currently in.

I decided to walk behind the dorms on Newton and to see the park around Newton campus. The fall leaves are beginning to show and I love it. The yellow/orange leaves are beginning to come out.

I was not able to find fungi—the theme of the week—but I love fall, so I was gravitated towards the leaves. I like how this picture shows our current state. Some leaves will be bright green, some orange or yellow, and some will be brown. I feel like this picture shows all of that.
