Day 5: Leona Gorge + Mandlebrot Set

Today, we went to Leona Gorge. It was pretty because we saw a whole bunch of different plants and trees. There was a very old tree that is twisted up, so the loggers didn't cut it down because there would be no good boards out of it. so, after that being said, check out these pictures.
This plants is how you say regular, in a way, because of the look of it, but I chose this picture because of it's originality and it looks like it has a strong skeleton. And all the leaves have different designs of the same thing.
This is the tree that is the oldest tree to stand in the East Bay. The only reason that the tree stands is because the body of the tree is all twisted up. I chose this picture because of the uniqueness of the the tree and it being so old and standing proudly.
I chose this picture because it is young and just starting life, in my opinion, the fern represents a child that is just learning how to stand for itself. it is simple and regular in it's design in nature.
To everyone else this just might only be a weed, but it is a design in nature that makes the plant grow like it is. It's funny because it looks like it is iterating itself.
