Spring Times a Comin

 In my park I looked for the sign of new life and the differences from winter time to spring time. Mostly the change from brown and all dark colors to light lively colors like greens, reds, and yellows of new coming leaves and buds.

I also saw a large increase in animal activity in the woods as I walked there were countless squirrels and a woodpecker in the distance. Most of the trees were already budding and popping so it was hard to see through the already dense foliage. 

One big part of spring is pollination. This is done by insects and some animals, but is largely done by wind. Pollination can be seen through trees and flowers. There is self pollination and cross pollination. Self pollination is when one plant pollinates itself from one flower pollen to another. The same pollen from one flower cannot pollinate itself. The flower needs pollen from a different flower from the same plant, or a different flower of the same species. Cross pollination is when the pollen from the same species of plant pollinates another plant in its species.
