awesome pics.
I found a red and prickly orange plant that was covered with mud because of the rain. Before I was told that these leaves are very poisonous and can kill you so I didn't touch it just in case, even though my brother told me it was a lie. He said he wanted to look like he knew everything, but this one looked like a dangerous plant. It was harmless though as I found out when I thought of picking this because it looked very interesting to me and I never ever saw it before in my life. This was the first time so I told everybody. This leaf was with an other bunch of leaves with it in a cluster. I knew that it didn't have any poison in it because I knew it was fall!! It was the end of my search when I knew it was a normal leaf right under a tree! How stupid was I not to realize that before going through a lot of trouble?! I was going to tell you about something else, but I said "why should I go through another bunch of trouble to do it so I posted it (I think it is extra credit)...
