I took my nature walk after class ended on Monday. I walked straight east down Fullerton until I got to Cannon Drive where I turned north and walked past the Nature Museum and through park. At the start of my walk the only nature I saw was the gardens in the homes along Fullerton and the trees along the sidewalk. I saw a few squirrels and birds as well. When I got to Cannon Drive and into North Park I started to see more nature, the pond, the geese swimming on the pond, the trees and flowers in the park, and the park itself.
When I chose my route I really just tried to choose the route with the most nature on it and I figured that the route with Nature Museum on it would be a good bet. I did not feel that different when I entered the park, however I was in the shade and it was relatively hot out so I did feel better when I got into an area with more nature. Having lived in Chicago my whole life, I did not notice anything that I have not noticed before. Living in the city, my daily interaction with nature is not as much as it might be if I lived in the country and is pretty much limited to whatever trees, parks, or gardens I pass by.
