On Friday we walked through the Presidio to Baker beach and then briefly went to Golden Gate Park. We mostly saw lichen except we saw one big white mushroom in a path that went from the presidio to baker beach. Though we still haven't uploaded the pictures we took I am hoping to go to Pier 39 this week and see the seals.

I forgot to upload my notes from week 4. Because of the midterm and a busy rest of the week, we were not able to go out this week. But we planned to go to Pier 39 the following Friday. We are also hoping to go to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve sometime soon, as we really need to find animals to take pictures of.

This week we went to Pier 39 to see the sea lions. There were so many of them, and they were very entertaining. They kept fighting with each other and jumping off into the water and getting back on the planks. We also saw a lot of seagulls, but had trouble taking clear photos of them. We might go to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve today, it just depends on whether or not we will have time.

We went to Wunderlich County Park this Friday, and saw a lot of different plants, wild turkey, and deer. We also saw birds but weren't able to take pictures of them because they were too far and whenever we would try to get closer they would fly away. The path was a bit slippery in some places because of the mud, but everything looked and smelled amazing. It was so cool to look at the ginormous redwoods.

Yesterday we quickly stopped by the beach to see if we would be able to get pictures of any animals. There were not as many as usual, but we did find a couple species. The tiny sand crab was perfect to photograph because it hadn't been torn up by seagulls and wasn't within reach of the water yet. We also saw seagulls and tried to get as close to them as possible. We will be making a trip to the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve soon.
