I had some free time after the conference ended and before my flight back to Hawai'i---this is very rare for me.  So, I took advantage of the opportunity to go for a nature walk around the UMBC campus.  I saw lots of plants and animals including several deer, rabbits, squirrels, a groundhog, geese, barn swallows, etc.  I also brought along a camera and got photos!  This is a space holder post for now, because I have to get get ready to the airport soon, but I will update with some pictures and commentary as soon as I get a chance.
