Ronald Bog Park   3pm
Weather- Mostly Cloudy and Very Windy


When I arrived at Ronald Bog Park today, I was sure after the crappy weather we have been having there would be a lot of physical changes there. I was not mistaken. Last week there were some trees in the bog itself, and this week it seemed like more were. There were also trees that instead of being up in the air like they have been, were actually bent down towards the ground, there were cracks in the branches to show how mush stress the wood actually took. As well as the trees being misplaced, there were a lot of large branches all over the place, and a lot of leaves. The geese were there, and the ducks from last week were grazing with them, I want to say one male and one female mallard, one was a tan kind of color, and the other had a green neck. There were also a lot more mushrooms today, maybe with the wet and the moss everywhere, mushrooms grow easily there.

This picture shows the 2 ducks among the geese. They are on the bottom, in the middle of screen.

These are the series of pictures I took of a tree, and then the mushrooms growing in the moss. I thought it was a neat series.









Here are some that show the fungi I have seen today.

This one shows some cool looking fungus, kind of looks like a mushroom on the log.

 This is another kind of fungus, I have never seen this kind before.

 This one looked like a yellow berry or bean.

And, this one looked like gel or slime









And, I finally found an invertebrate.

These look like potato bugs, or pill bugs. With all of the crappy weather as of late, there were actually logs to turn over. It looked like a family of them.








For part 2
This was very hard

Several small hats
lots of color

Loud and large

Miniature armadillo shaped

This was definitely difficult for me, I meant well!!
