Dear Class,

Great 1st assignment! A couple of notes for next time:

1. Start your own journal post on your own page instead of commenting on my post
2. Take photos of single organisms instead of full landscapes. That they can be identified better.

My first hike was an oak woodland in my neighborhood. It was green after the rain. A few wildflowers were blooming, and I know them to be common early spring wildflowers. This woodland was in the hills and so the organisms had to deal with steep slopes to get from one place to another.
