First iNaturalist Nature Walk

This afternoon I walked to Hammond Pond. Overall, the walk took about 40 minutes. The weather was comfortable, leaning towards the chilly side. A slight breeze kicked in at some points, and the trees acted as a nice shade. I walked through quite a muddy area scattered with rocks, which I used as stepping stones. Above me was a multitude of tall trees. I saw mostly green leaves, as well as some edges of leaves beginning to turn red and yellow. There were some fallen leaves scattered on the ground, along with lots of acorns. I saw small white and yellow flowers budding off of some plants and even some small fruits dangling from other plants. Many of the leaves were not full and seemed to be eaten through. The pond itself was much higher than I thought it would be, and its surface was covered with something that looked like algae. The air was crisp and cold, which is something I always enjoy about being in nature.
