Interesting Plants

                   The photo on the left was taken at Wildwood park. The tree is unidentified but there are many interesting leaves. The one on the bottom left corner is farely large and has lots of teeth. The leaf next to it is a more round leaf. As you can see, this tree has many different varieties of leaves.      

The tree to the right is very interesting. First, it has many different colors of leaves. Second, the leaves are all different shapes and sizes. The branches also grow out from the rest of the tree.it is also skinnier than many other trees. The leaves around it indicate that seasons are changing. This tree is very unusual indeed.

 

The bush below is very similar to the tree above. They are both about the same height. This bush is fatter. The bush also has most leaves the same color. The soil around it seems to be very rich and dark, making it a good place to live with plenty of sunshine. The bush is also unusual because of it's fat leaves. This bush also proofs to be interesting.

The Ugly Duck

       This picture was taken at Wildwood park. These are ducks. The exact specific name is unknown. Two of the ducks seem to be deserting the other duck. The ducks havea white spot around their eyes, a long black neck and a gray and white body. The third duck may be searching for food. Ducks are a cool species and more people should try to learn about them.

Crazy Throns!

 

 The picture at the right was taken at Wildwood park. The thorns seem to be a big part of the ecosystem. Small animals like chipmunks run in there to escape predators. Plants have adapted thorns throughout their evolution. To keep animals from eating them, they grew thorns as a protection. Thorns have sometimes grown out of control and they are a pain, but just remember that they play a big role in ecosystems.

 

 The bush on the right may look like something you would love to jump in. But if you do, you will have some uncomfortable pricks in uncomfortable places. This is a thorn bush. It does not look like the thorns above, but that is on deception. like the thorns above, the bush adapted them survival. Unlike the thorns above, this bush has a more "branchy" look and feel to it. This may look like an ordinary bush, but looks can be deceiving...

 

 

Beech Tree

I am not entirely sure if it the specific name or the general name, but this is a Beech Tree. This Beech is skinny but it has many branches and leaves. Even though it doesn't have the brightly colored leaves, the gold and red still make it look like a great tree. Looking at it right now, it doesn't look like it is home to any species. Underneath, though, many isects feed and live on the bark. If it was spring, the Beech would be a better sight, but it's bright red and gold leaves make it stand out to somebodies eye.

Pine Tree

The tree shown here is a pine tree. The specific name is a Norway Sprewce. Pine trees are commonly used as Christmas trees. Their leaves help identify them because they are thin and grouped on a stem. Many species of birds, chipmunks and insects make homes on a pine. Birds nest in them and the insects and chipmunks live inside the tree. The bark is also used for food for insects that live in the bark and some that feed from the outside. Pines are very well known and can be found in many forests. Even though this is a Norway Sprewce, there are many different types of pine trees including the Douglas Fir. Pine trees are a very known and commonly seen tree. Whether you found one in the woods or you got a Christmas tree, pine trees are a great tree to see.

Magnolia Tree

 This is a magnolia tree. They can grow farely large. This tree still has many green leaves. As it turns seasons, the leaves start to turn brown, red and gold. In the spring, it grows little, white flowers that grow all throughout the tree. Sometimes, when the weather is warmer, organisms like small birds, make nests for thier babies. I was not able to find the scienetific name but this tree was clearly identified as a magnolia tree.
