Nantucket Island: Plants

I went to Nantucket Island for fall break. There is a lot of protected land behind my house, so I mainly walked through there but also walked along a path not far from my house. I saw a large variety of plants which was exciting, because I was a little worried about finding diversity. Seeing the diversity in the small area where I walked alone, showed me how wrong I was. It was especially interesting to see all of the different types of trees. There was not very many flowers around, but I think that has to do with the time of year. Overall, it was very successful and informative. This is unrelated to the plants, but a deer ran right past me which was pretty crazy and scary because I have never been that close to one before. Overall, it was a nice time for reflection and observation.
