Autumn Hike - Ryan Park

On one recent sunny day this past Autumn, took a long slow walk in the Ryan Park area near Gardens at Waters East.  It is a nature preserve about five miles from the gardens.  As you will see;  lots of beautiful trees, trails, hills, leaves of color and birds migrating as the season changes.  Nice way to spend an afternoon.

You are welcome to come along.

Very interesting mushroom growing on on tree.

Snake hiding in the leaves.

Colors here and colors there.

Late Summer Sunrise

Sunrises are always so very beautiful even on days that are not perfect.  There is something about waking up to see the new day.  Here are photos capturing one day in the life of a new morning – taken at the end of August 2022.

 Good Morning

Wanted to check out the Autumn colors in the garden so took a quick walk around on some of the paths at the Gardens at Waters East.  Here are the colors of today.
