A Walk to Remember!

Last Thursday, I went with Leanne when she took her dog Luke on a walk. We focused on the world around us and you would not imagine what we found. First of all, all the interconnected relationships in the world (tick on luke- (Parasitism), bees pollinating flowers (mutualism), as well as lichen on the trees). Another example of parasitism is a wood pecker pecking a tree in leanne's front yard, causing it to slowly die.

- Magnolia Tree that was pollinated by bees as well as squirrels who ate the buds...

-The woodpecker's masterpiece...

We also examined the effects of excercise on our own bodies. As we walked for longer and longer, our muscles began to burn. Leanne explained to me that because we are doing a hard excercise regime, our bodies are lacking oxygen and therefore having to use lactic fermentation to make energy.

Overall, although I was sore :) , we had a wonderful walk that i hope to repeat again soon!
