3/7/2020 walk

Though I was looking forward to exploring the native species of Italy during spring break, one can never know what the future will hold. Because of this, I found myself, rather, in New York City waiting to take a bus back to Boston and decided to go to one of the piers to see what I could find. Though there were a lot of "captive" species around, I tried to focus more on what forms of life seemed to be non-artificial: the things that grew or were around without being placed their specifically by humans. I found birds in trees when you tried hard to look for them, and they were not all pigeons either! I also found an astonishing amount of ivies growing in crevices and behind buildings. Though pier 25 seemed to be made purely for relaxation and what was planted there was for aesthetic purposes, I couldn't help but notice that the species that are more native to the area seemed to flourish in these more natural environments. It was a really nice getaway from the city without actually getting out of the city.
