Erik and I walked towards Farinon and looked at the trees that were facing the building on the quad. We decided to choose these trees because we thought it was interesting that we walk past these trees everyday, but we do not know what they are, what purpose they serve, and their effects on the environment, whether or not they are indigenous to the region. Leafsnap informed us that the leaves come from either a white ash tree, or a corkscrew willow.

I think this app is incredible, and that it is actually an example of technology bringing us closer to nature. Having the ability to recognize a leaf right away would bring vast knowledge to any person trying to find out more about their surrounding world.
