Observations - 5/5/20

Today I went to MDO again for observations, but I hiked along a trail that was farther from the ocean and much more forest-like. I was on a dirt trail surrounded by tall trees, with lots of short green grass-like plants surrounding their bases. I found a lot of the plant I observed had interesting textures, namely really soft/fuzzy leaves. As the trail made its way towards the ocean, I observed a few new plants there as well, and these were markedly different from the ones in the forest. I found the plants that resided in the sun near the ocean to be drier and more colorful than the green, moist, soft plants I observed prior.
