Lisa Hermanson and I went wandering in the woods behind the house she grew up in and which our family bought from hers. A sort of sentimental journey in what is now the Betty Allen Nature Preserve.

The pond is sort of scummy and muddy
and the swan really didn't want us there.

ReplyDeleteThat swan looks like it's on attack mode!
ReplyDeleteVisual delight Elizabeth and if one breathes deeply you can smell the fresh and earthy aromas. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks like England!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you made it to Dexter's neighborhood- less the swans and poison ivy...Your photos are so soothing- like the Kentish countryside and like Dexter's walk.
ReplyDeleteThose green leaves are very refreshing views to contemplate from hot and humid NYC.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Elizabeth. I do hope that my buddy Buster did not come in contact with any poison ivy!
Hoping to see you all soon. xo
the swan appears to be making a straight line at you
ReplyDeletegreat shot
the path looks beautiful
You've covered it thoroughly, Elizabeth, a delight to relive the day.
ReplyDeleteSwans hate intruders don't they. An interesting walk Elizabeth.
