Outskirts of Chestnut Hill Reservoir September 30, 2022

I walked for about 45 minutes on by the edge of Thomas More Rd. I walked from there to the Chestnut Hill reservoir. There was a section to the side where trees, grass and other clearly wild plants grew. Although all my observations were plants, I did see a bee, some birds, and a swan. However, these were simply just harder to catch a picture of. The weather was cloudy with a temperature of about 61 degrees F. In the initial place I walked before reaching the reservoir, I noticed that there was not much grass, however, there was moss, fungi and small leaved plants. The lack of grass was likely due to the tall trees that surrounded the area, blocking sun for shorter plants to grow. The moss was very cool looking with spikes and was spread across a lot of the ground as they need less sun to survive than most plants. The fungi was growing off a tree trunk in clusters. Once at the reservoir, there were many types of flowers such as the American Asters and )(my favorite observation) there were some very beautiful berry-like plants with a variety of colors such as purple and pink. Sadly, I also noticed a large amount of trash such as cans and plastic bags scattered among the nature.
