 It was our last field trip with a perfect weather. We walked around open bog where was so beautiful. There were full of spongy mosses, green grasses, flowers, and cushiony mud. I enjoyed the feelings like a soft carpet. When we look down very closely, we could see lots of tiny though perfect shaped plants or flowers around there. It was a really great time!
