"Ecology Selfies"


This selfie would be the one I admire the most because of the pure-luck. Closely, there is a small hummingbird feeding off of the plant. It quickly occurred to me, as I patiently waited in the drive-thru, that the action of the hummingbird was one of my items needed for the assignment(mutualism). Without any hesitation, I instantly pulled out my phone and snapped about a dozen photos of the hummingbird. I still cannot believe how lucky I was that day!




This is a photo of  the group I went hiking with for the assignment. As we were strolling through the blazing hot trail we came across a stranded decomposing fruit. I reluctantly volunteered to hold the fruit for the picture.


This was a common flower found throughout our scavenger hunt. Every step I took, there was another one, tempting me to finally take a selfie with the pleading flower.

Overall, the scavenger hunt experience was tiring, sweaty, and blood rushing as my lazy, summer body was startled by the inclines and rough terrain of the trip. Some of the items were somewhat difficult to take a selfie, especially easily scared organisms like frogs. This is when our creativity struck in, However,  most of our group, not completely , prevailed through all of the steeps and slants but despite the obstacles it was an experience to be cherished.
