Jim, Reagan, Brinkley and I spent this relatively nice day in Mill Creek Park.
It was in the mid 50's today, which compared to yesterday, we'll take!
We started on the All People's Trail at the Ford Nature Center. I wanted to look for some wild flowers, so I could put my new lens to good use. We found a few purple ones, but I was hoping to find some unusual ones. We enjoyed our walk around the path, and Reagan enjoyed picking up all the pine cones. She started to make a little pile on a bench along the path. LOL! Brinkley enjoyed getting a little "off leash" time because there was no one around.
Since our wild flower quest was a bust, we walked across the street the the paved walking path that runs above Lake Cohasset. We went about a mile when we heard what we thought were gunshots! YIKES! A few minutes later we heard a ton of sirens. I checked the news this evening and there was nothing, so who knows what it really was. It was a bit spooky at the time though.
We got back to the car, and went over to the Lake Newport Wetlands. There is a huge field across from the parking lot before you take the path to the boardwalk. There had to be about 30 geese in the field, and of course, all eyes were on them as we were walking. I did a double take, and sure enough, there was a fox just chilling out in the field. I tried to walk as slow as possible and got pretty close before he even noticed me. But by the time I got my camera to my eye, he turned and ran. He was so cool to see though. We continued on and walked all along the boardwalk. Reagan was disappointed she didn't see any fish. She was thrilled with the amount of geese though.
We got home and I was getting ready to start dinner when one of our pantry shelves collapsed. Ay, yi, yi. Hopefully, it's a quick fix. We shall see. To be continued....
The photo of the day is Reagan's collection of pine cones...
The extra photo is just a random hug, Reagan gave Brinkley at the wetlands, with an inserted picture of the fox running away.
