Besides seeing a huge number of downed trees, there were some sparrows and cardinals flitting about. Most of the photos, however, are of the flora.
My first reasonable shot was of this fern. The sunlight just brought it to life. There were lots of pine trees in the park, with lots of pine cones.
As we continued along there was a really interesting tree, that just looked like it shattered.
The photo below of the cut trunk grabbed my attention too; the huge crack in it tells a story of torment - doesn't it?
You need to watch your step along the shore of the river. The trail is atop a sharp dropping cliff of soil which is a good 15 feet above the water. As the sign noted, there could be falling trees and soil! Tread lightly!
I liked the luminescent nature of the leaf hanging in the sun, and the dark background set it off nicely.
The last shot before leaving for the day, was of a run down barn. It's clearly not been in use for a considerable length of time. It's overgrown with vines, and there's weeds from the fence all the way to the structure. It looked rather sad. I think just getting rid of the weeds, vines and debris would make it look a world better - even if the barn itself didn't get any attention.
Well, that was today's venture. It's a nice park to walk your dogs (must be on a leash.), or just to have a nice stroll through a forest.
Get out and enjoy. Adventure doesn't have to be far from home.
Blessings,
Brian
