Field Trip to Quarry Hill Nature Center

Today, the group of people I’m living with in Rochester, Minnesota, and I went on my second weekly field trip. This time, we went to Quarry Hill Nature Center, a park and indoor nature center in Rochester, Minnesota. I left my Canon mirrorless camera at home this past weekend, so I am now using my iPhone 16, which is a perfectly capable camera in most situations, on these field trips.

I took these 11 photos from 12:58 to 1:17 p.m.
