Spotted on Duval. I think it resembles a pecan tree but I can’t be sure.
The classic Texas weed grows everywhere. I liked seeing it right next to the road and the sidewalk, far from any nutrients but still growing.
Another tree similar to the one I saw in Waller Creek near Highland. I liked how it was growing near a creek like the ones I saw at UT.
Shrubs growing out of the creek near Highland. I liked how they were tall and had an interesting shape
Spotted on San Jacinto before you reach the stadium. I love this gentle leaves and the weeping willow look.
I saw this tree by the Education Building at UT, where I have lab meetings. I love these types of tree so much and I always see them around Austin. I’m not sure if they are cultivated or natural, but I do see them growing naturally so maybe this is a similar situation
Seen by Duval and 41st. I loved seeing all the greenery in the neighborhood.
Spotted on San Jacinto at UT. I like the bell shaped leaves and how cool it looks.
It’s the tree behind the pole. Saw this by Hyde Park area. I like seeing the way trees grow around apartment complexes to observe how they interact with natural and unnatural elements alike
Spotted this all over Wells Branch area. This is such a common grass in Central Texas and reminds me so much of the hot summers here.
This was spotted on San Jacinto at UT. it doesn’t get much shade where it is which is why I think the flowers are more wilted.
The insect kept on flying around and couldn’t seem to calm down to sit down. The insect flying had spots on its wings.
I noticed that the insect was crawling very slowly and I think that the insect was injured/perhaps in critical condition.
I saw this plant by Waller Creek. It looks like a crawler plant that grew around a tree already at the site. That what was initially caught my eye to make an observation. I wonder if the is relationship is mutualism or parasitism.
I saw this by Waller Creek at UT. I wonder why there were some holes in the leaves-maybe due to organisms that only eat this plant as opposed to the other ones present?
I saw this tree by the Alumni Center at UT. I really like the needle like shape of the leaves, and the large growth.
I saw this while waiting for the bus near Waller Creek. I was fascinated by the amount of diversity in the creek when I really started to pay attention to it. This caught my eye because it was distinct from the other plants I typically see in Austin.
I saw these by the Alumni Center at UT. I liked the strange shape of the leaves and how there were just two growths in this spot.
I saw this growing on a wall on UT campus near the lab I work at. It’s so cool to see nature take over these otherwise inhospitable places.
Seen at Waller Creek. I was really interested in the amount of different types of plants there were in the creek that I’d never noticed.
This was seen in San Jacinto Street at UT. I really liked the shape of the leaves, and the unique way it grew.
This plant was found in Waller Creek on UT campus. I was super fascinated by the shape of the leaves and the unique growths.
This was seen at Waller Creek Area by UT. This was growing as a small plant by the sidewalk near the green belt area. It looks like some form of poison ivy or oak due to its five leaves structure.
This is a photo of the growths around UT. These vines are often found all over campus so I saw them many times in different places.
Spotted on UT campus by the Perry Castañeda Library. I liked the dark leaves and their shape.
Another potential pecan tree seen around Hyde Park. I love seeing the native Texans trees around town.
spotted near Crestview area. I loved how green and bright the leaves were.
Seen around the Howard Station area. I like seeing the green belt as I travel downtown.
Saw this shrub by the Wells Branch area. It is a typical Texas shrub/tree which I grew up around
