Day 3  #1

Today we went to Cox Arboretum our goal was to capture pictures of five different trees and one animal. Inside the park there was a pond full of turtles and fish. So we threw small pieces of bread in the water to attract them closer to get better pictures, and to our amazement a huge snapping turtle appears. To attract it closer we started tossing miniature cookies into the water to get it to come closer. One of us had a Go Pro but we were not able to get a good video because of how murky the water was much to are displeasure. But we were able to get multiple good pictures of the trees.

the first tree we took a picture of was a Bur Oak
Our next tree was a Sweet Gum tree
We also got a picture of a Blue Spruce

We also had a normal spruce tree
But best of all we were able to get a picture of an imported Dawn Redwood 
It's already one of the tallest trees in the area but my favorite is still the Blue Colorado Spruce. That maybe because my favorite color is blue but who knows. We also had to settle for a picture of a red ear sliding turtle and a bull frog.
