Treasure Hunt

Today, I went on a hike around the South side of Berkeley and I identified these 7 plants from last year's observations. Quite a few times, I found the plants at some distance from the previous observation, but it was great to see another generation of the same plant someone saw last year. It made me think of how resilient these species are and how, despite all the barriers that mankind creates against the propagation of their kind, they continue to thrive.

My observations today led me to this awesome short video on the change over time of a dandelion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ_QqtXoyQw
Although this observation is an extra (not part of the 7 relocated observations), it was one that I made on my hike and I wanted to share this video I found about it. I really enjoyed my hike on this sunny day.
