Journal #1: Central Park
This weekend I visited Central Park which is located in San Mateo. I visited the park in the evening around 5:30 pm during which it was 73 degrees Fahrenheit. I was hoping to find some interesting plants in the vicinity and I did in fact find a quite fascinating-looking flower! Though I did not expect to see too much bird activity in the area since I usually notice that birds are more active in the morning times, there were numerous squirrels climbing up and down trees. Next time, I hope to visit the Japanese Tea Garden and possibly find other plant and animal species--they have a koi fish pond so that would be fun to explore. I plan on visiting Laurelwood Park in San Mateo next week which is quite close to my house! I've noticed many different plant species in that area from previous visits, so I hope to capture some great pictures.
