Getting Down to Business

Hey guys. I'm staying true to the title of this post and "getting down to business". I took a few more pictures for this week. I feel that they go well with some of the topics we have discussed in lecture.

The snow has started to recede and more of the beautiful landscape can be seen.

Check out the first two pictures. The first picture is of a lichen forest engulfing a rock. Without discussing this topic in class I would have never noticed it. The second picture is again a patch of lichen on a rock formation. I liked this example due to the bright coloration of the lichen.

The third picture is of a stand of birch trees. Check out the shoots that are sprouting from the base of them. As we learned in class, birch trees love to sprout that way if not maintained by human hands.

I feel like this post is much more Sciencey than my first post. Yay me!

Thanks for checking this out.

Intro to an amateur blogger

This is my introduction to blogging. I fully admit to being technologically deficient. However I intend not to bore the crap out of you guys for the next few months.

The content of this blog will be related to the area surrounding my local YMCA. i chose this spot due to the fact that a spend quite a bit of the Y. I hope to venture into the woods once the snow melts. This particular area is special to me because i spent much of my childhood roaming  these woods as a member of camp Sachem.



I ate many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on that rock formation.

I hope to post many much more insightful things than this introduction. 

Please disregard the power lines in the video and photos, i hope to advance into the woods once the snow melts. Thanks for checking out my blog!
