All steps taken originated from the Biology Computer Resource Center, Room 311 in Morrill Science Center III South. I decided to study the relationship between tree roots and lichens. On emerging from the BCRC, I took a right turn to the end of the hallway, where I took another right turn onto a short hallway. I went straight ahead and on reaching the stairwell at the end of that hallway, I went down the stairs to the second floor of the Morrill Science Center III. Right there on the second floor landing are a pair of glass doors, leading outside. I pushed the glass doors apart and came out onto a narrow tarred road. Across from me, the first maple tree on the lawn between the road and the back of the University club building had the sections of the bark close to the roots covered in green lichens. From where I stood, I took a picture to capture the whole tree using my iPhone 6 Plus camera. To get a better picture of just the lichens, I went closer to the tree, squat and took a picture. And to have something for comparison, I took a picture of a section of the tree trunk not covered in lichens. I uploaded the images to Inkscape, an open and free-source vector graphic editor, and set the pictures into three panels. I depicted the picture with a better view of the lichens as a magnification of the tree roots.
