This is my school in IR, a bit messy, but the best I could do in paint. I have to admit, I enjoyed being able to say that I was doing homework while in paint:)

=﻿Leaf Litter Collection:= September 28, 2010 Finding and identifying a red maple was much harder than I thought! My mom and I just spend an hour roaming, and sinking in mud, through my neighbor's woods! But we eventually found some on the property line that I can easily see and monitor disturbances daily! I couldn't find seeds on any of my red maples so the seeds here are from a Japanese Maple tree. My specific spot does not have a sweet gum tree but it took forever to find one so I'm going to post the picture anyways:)

Well, after further analysis of my site, I realized it was probably not the best site and the tree was rather small. So, I decided to move my collection site and am now observing a sweetgum tree. I've replaced the pictures of the previous site with the new one.

This is my red maple, and yes, I did crumple it to smell it after I took the picture.

These are two pictures of my collection site. Sorry they're sideways, I forgot to turn them before they were uploaded.

And this is a sweetgum tree. The seed on the left is from this year and came straight off the tree, the one on the right is probably from last season(or older) and came off the ground.

And the final results of all our labor....drumroll please....

I copied all the same fields we had on the class wide leaf litter sheet.

And for the weekend, my latitude and longitude is: latitude: 34.878046 longitude: -80.594597
