Mason Mill Park, and we went off trail….

IMG_3833Fall is in the air and I love Mason Mill Park. There is the Garden.IMG_3843    IMG_3844    IMG_3848    IMG_3849They have a senior center and a great playground that is always crowded.IMG_3853Coop loves it!IMG_3857Then we headed down the trail.IMG_3863Here is some of the colorful graffiti. I will try and get some photos of some more of it. Anyway, then there is this tree….IMG_3867this tree sticks its tongue out at me every time we pass it. To continue our walk, we decided to go off trail, on a very safe looking trail. IMG_3868Oh whoops before we went off trail we spotted a turtle.Now off trail, IMG_3874this is where we went. It went along the railroad track. IMG_3875It ends out here….IMG_3879In the neighborhood. which way should I go?

IMG_3884I made it back to the trail and autumn is here!

Sprig Restaurant and a new trail, who knew?

IMG_3794So, I went to Sprig Restaurant for lunch, it was so very good! I had the veggie plate. Veggie PlateCollard greens, spinach and mashed potatoes with corn bread. It was awesome. Service could not have been better. SprigGreat comfy bar too! I really liked the feel of this place. Then going out to my car I noticed this,IMG_3799Frazier Rowe Park, right nest to this restaurant, a trail. IMG_3802It took about 15 minutes to walk and I was deep in too.IMG_3800It was well marked and a fun little hike, but how many more of these are out there? It is so fun!

IMG_3809This was on the bridge. Well I have to go walk now. Searching for a new trail.

Great Blue Heron

IMG_3745Staycationers can be surprised every day with something new on a walk. On this walk on the creek, I have seen ducks and birds, but everyday things. Today I was lucky enough to come upon this Heron.IMG_3749I came upon upon it on one end of the creek and it took off. Amazing wing span! My camera was not out, so I missed that amazing part. I did get to seed it again.IMG_3750Keep your eyes peeled you never know what you will see!
