Eco Evo Nature Walk 3 (plants)

I went hiking in a new trail today and had a lot of fun exploring (although I ended up getting lost halfway). The weather was really nice - high 60s to low 70s with a slight breeze and clear skies. I saw a lot of interesting plants and trees. There was a river that ran by the trail I walked and I was hoping to get pictures of some cool aquatic plants, but there were only rocks by the river bank. I did see what looked like moss(?) growing on the rocks in the river but when I tried to take a picture of them the reflection of the water made it impossible to see the plant. I saw a lot of pretty flowers along the trail as well. The colorful flowers and colorful fall leaves made the hike really pretty and enjoyable. I also saw a toad during my hike and a really interesting looking insect on one of the flowers. I saw a fungus as well, which I never would've noticed if not for the past module we spent learning about fungi. Overall, it was nice to relax and go for a long walk during the extended weekend without having to worry about assignment deadlines and other responsibilities.
