During this nature walk, I ventured to Boughton Garden on Suffolk & Woodman road, not too far away from the main campus of Boston College. The weather was sublime, it was ranged from the high 60s to the low 70s during the time of the walk. There was no rain which enabled me to enjoy the walk more thoroughly, while admiring the nature along the way. I was able to see a dash of insects, but it was mainly comprised of plants and fungus. There was a brief section that contained several different flowers, therefore I was able to see many bees pollinating the flowers and eventually catching a shot of the event. I've got to admit that that was certainly one of the highlights of the walk. Although this was certainly interesting, I carefully made my way to the other sections of the garden. Afterwards, I was able to find a pond which had a few frogs and gnats flying about, however, I was unable to catch a shot of those critters. There were several sections of the garden that were mainly composed of plants and leaves, but it added to the scenic view of the walk.

I walked along the outside of Boston College and Newton Campus,. The weather during this time was nice and sunny for the first portion of the time; however, it soon changed with a gush of wind that brought on a strong chill. Along this pathway I saw a lot of greenery, and a few other individuals. When I went to a section with a multitude of flowers, I was greeted with several bees that were pollinating the flowers. It was cool to see them in action and just reminded me about when we were learning about pollination in high school Biology. There were also many spider webs entwined with the flowers, but I did not see any visible spiders. Overall, this was a good second nature walk.
