Nature Walk in Crossings Park - October 14, 2019

I went home for fall break, and I took a walk in a park in my hometown of Albany, New York called the Crossings. The weather was warm compared to Boston, the temperature being about 70 degrees. There was very light wind. I walked with two of my high school friends, and it was very nice to talk to them while observing autumn leaves and other plants. I saw many different types of plants, from pine trees to milkweeds. There were even mosses on the ground in some dark places of the park. Many of the trees' leaves were turning red and yellow due to it being autumn. There weren't very many wild flowers to observe, and most of the flowers I saw around the park seemed to be planted by humans. There were a lot of people in the park taking walks, biking, and walking their dogs. Overall, this walk was a very calming and enjoyable experience.
