We lived here about 5 years before I discovered this wonderful park just minutes away from where I live. These are shots from that first visit.
As you walk down one side of the the trail there is a pond to the right.

Immediately upon arriving, I saw a Green Heron take flight.
Unfortunately, I wasn't prepared...so my shots didn't turn out.
But I liked this one of the cattails growing on the edge of the pond.
There were buildings that were overgrown. I think they
left them overgrown on purpose - These are "ruins" of the "Old Brown Farm"
There is a shed behind all of this greenery.
And as we walked out, we passed the pond again andthis guy decided to make an appearance.
My pics really don't do him justice...he is BIG!
This park has about 170 acres so we didn't even hit the tip of it
when we visited. I have been back many times and it is one of my FAVORITE places!
Looks like a great place to take pictures. I really like the buildings but my favorite is the cattails.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a natural reserve - and all the better for it. Some parks tend to be a bit over-elaborated. This one must be worth many a stroll.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to find new places to ramble? And this one looks great! I'm sure you will be there often.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great place to explore with your camera. I hope you're going back soon.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have discovered a wonderful place to walk and take pictures.

Well, neither can I, looks like a great place for camera work.
ReplyDeleteoh what an inviting paradise! and summer stretches ahead of you....cool, I am seeing picnic baskets and red gingham table cloths in puddles of shade...
ReplyDeleteThe shot of the cattails is my favorite. Good to see you captured Nessy too :)

ReplyDeleteThe pond photo is so serene looking and that blue sky in the second one is gorgeous.
It sounds a perfect place to spend a full day.. Camera at the ready at all times.. :O)
ReplyDeleteNice to compare the Cattails
Looks like a great park. Love the image of the turtle poking his head - ever so slightly - out of water.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great park and that turtle looks like quite a big fellow.

ReplyDeleteWhat neat shots of the old barn. I always like to imagine what the barns purpose was in it's lifetime. I like the turtle too. This has been some year for turtles.
Great post.
