Paper Birch (Betula papyrifera)Observer
dennisfontynDescription
I came across this Birch tree while I was exploring Jack Darling Park in Mississauga. I believe it to be a Paper Birch as the type of bark can actually flake, or peel off the trunk of this tree. This type of tree in the correct season, is full and has green leaves. From the season we are currently in, it has lost all of the leaves which would make this tree look full. This belongs to the plant kingdom

I found a type of fungus on a rock as I was exploring the wilderness in a local park. I believe it to be moss. From the picture, you can see the rock is not covered with the moss, however it is covering a certain section on the surface of the rock

Along my walk in a park, I came across some type of fungus on the bark of a tree. After some research I came to a conclusion that it is most likely Sunburst Lichens. I was able to identify it because of the yellowish colour. This belongs to the Fungi Kingdom.

Willows (Genus Salix)Observer
dennisfontynDescription
I took this photo of a weeping willow tree, also scientifically known as a willow-leaved shepherds-tree. Typically, in season the branches are full of green leaves, however with it being off-season (winter), the leaves are seen to be yellowish-brown colour. You can tell it is a willow tree with the branches hanging down (hence the sad/weeping part of the species). This photo was taken in Jack Darling Park

dennisfontynDescription
I took this photo of a Achaearanea tepidariorum (commonly known as the House Spider) just recently within the shower of my home. With observation of the water drops, you can really see the size of the spider. This picture was taken in a suburban area in Mississauga, ON. This species belongs to "Kingdom Animalia."
