beautiful day in james' backyard

Today was a beautiful day to sit outside of my house and view what was around me. While walking around my house i noticed some more things that i wanted to share with you guys, first I found some moss on a brick that had been out all winter. The second thing i found was in the garden next to the porch, The plant is called chrysanthemum or mums for short. its a plant that comes out in the spring and makes beautiful flowers also native to asia and northeastern Europe.

week 4

This week wasn't as fun as sitting in the tree but i still viewed a lot. This week i walked around the yard and noticed a lot of things. While walk around i noticed that there were tracks in the snow from a white tail rabbit, also while walking around i noticed that there was some plant life starting to grow I'm not quite sure what the plant is yet but i will figure it out by next week. i think its a monocotyledon though.

week 3 tree sit

This week I wanted to do a tree to sit for 30 minuets and I found a lot of cool things that we have learned about in the weeks before. As you can see there is a lot less snow on the ground and you can see the grass coming through. While in the tree I notice a lot of things like on the bark of the tree there was moss growing. Knowing that this was moss I knew it was a nonvascular plant.  While on the tree I also noticed that there was a branch that had no bark on it. Knowing that the bark was the only way to bring water to the rest of the tree I was not surprised that the branch was dead from that part on because it had no vascular cambium. Being in the tree was a lot of fun and I found a lot of cool things. Just don’t do it in wingtips like I did.
