A Walk

I decided to take a walk near a small river near my house that is always contaminated with mercury. It was in the 60s and not very sunny. The actual place where there are trees and "nature" is behind a big office building so everything is pretty artificially kept. For example, there is a big parking lot then it leads to a large grass area that you can tell is mowed often and then there are pebbles up until the edge of the water. The whole walk is about 2 minutes and you can count how many trees are there, needless to say, it's a very small area but I did the best I could. I saw some green substance growing on some trees and I believe it was lichen from what I could observe. On the ground between some rocks, I also spotted what looked to me as fungi. Among this, I also spotted a rat who was very fast and I was not able to capture a picture. On the grass there was an absurd amount of what I at first thought was spider webs then realized it was most likely cotton from Eriophorum plants. I also saw some plants which the app helped me identify as "Genus Parthenocissus". And lastly, I spotted the cutest little geese family but they were too far for pictures. All in all, I actually saw more on this walk than I expected to considering how small of an area it is.
