Weekly Observation Amanda Mort

On my most recent bike ride, I decided to go down the opposite direction than I usually do, where I went under the main road. Once on the other side of the main road, I left the trail that ran along the creek that the trail stayed next to and instead I decided to turn right that led me to a nearby park called Veterans Park. Even though there were parts that were blocked off, I was still able to get around pretty well. In multiple places, there were many plum trees there that added contrast between the other tall trees that were there. Out of all the many shrubs that are in this park, the Star Jasmine shrubs certainly lightened up the park among all of the other green shrubs. They were along many of the pathways in this park.
Throughout the many paths at this park, I was able to see a variety of different plants. The majority of the plants that I associated with this post managed to be along the main road.
