Time: 0951
Location: On Millstream, facing the UC across the river.
Weather: Mostly sunny, brisk, 58 degrees
Although I have observed from various locations on the millstream, this is my first from this particular location. It's strange how different everything looks just from shifting to another side of the river. As I sit on this hard, wooden bench, I notice a variety of strange plants on the bank in front of me. I find myself wondering why there are so many random types of flora all over the campus. There seems to be no theme, no rhyme nor reason to the types or number of plants in all of the various locations of random flora patches. This patch consists of tall, bright yellow flowers that look like daisies, with their round, brown lobes surrounded by golden petals. There are also a bunch of short, green shrub like things, a grassy looking plant with long slender leaves and a height of no more than a foot, and a very peculiar short tree, purpleish in color, no taller than 3 feet. It's leaves are very skinny, palmately compound, and toothed. I wish I knew what it was, and why there are no others like it on campus.
