On this nature walk, I first came across an interesting white flower with many small petals. I observed them to be from the Asters and Allies family. Deeper in the woods, I found ants on a flower, but I could not get a definite identification on the species of ant. The woods were hilly with many downed trees and large rock formations. Standing on top of one of the larger rocks provided for a beautiful view of the woods and the plant wildlife. Birds were chirping everywhere, and the sun shined through the trees. I then saw bracket fungi on a large tree branch on the ground. Also, between some rocks, there were paper wasps going to its nest. I observed about twenty of them one-by-one crawling into the tight crevasse. I also saw some rose buds and the common copperleaf, which has three leaves coming from various points on the stem. The weather was dry and about 60 degrees, and it was partly cloudy with a gentle breeze.
