It was a glorious day for a walk in the #MiddlesexFells.

Two dogs are walking along a dirt path in a wooded area. The ground is covered with fallen leaves, and there are trees with bare branches in the background. The scene conveys a peaceful, natural setting.A dog is exploring a wooded path surrounded by tall trees and underbrush. Sunlight filters through the branches, creating a tranquil natural setting. A fallen log lies across the path.

Also, a couple of swans in the pond on the walk! 🦢🦢🩶

Two swans gliding on the pond next to each other very closely. There are two straight ripple lines behind them on the water’s surface. The background is low branches and shrubs, both still bare, on the shore. Digitally zoomed from the other side of the shore.

A large deer peeking through the  lower branches and leaves of pine, looking straight this way. He looks like he’s been working out all winter and muscular. Zoomed closeup, taken from the trail.

A spring-like warm day! Visited a chippy friend in the Fells forest.

@futurebird I’m assuming this is also a carpenter ant? This one was in Medford, MA.
Ants make a wonderful subject to film around. 🥰🐜✨

A wide view from the rocky ledge in Middlesex Fells forest: the ledge in the foreground is dusted by snow; the setting sun on the horizon on the right, radiating the tangerine light over the horizon; the Boston skyline is faintly visible on the left; a couple of tree branches in the sky on the right.

Was not quite so lazy today as previously indicated.

Excellent 5.5 mile hike in Middlesex Fells, the aptly-named Rock Circuit Trail. This trail hits EVERY DAMN outcropping it can.

Up and down and up and down and up and down and... you get the picture. Ouch. I am going to be SORE tomorrow.

(and I didn't even do the whole trail, bailed halfway through to finish on something flatter)

#hiking #middlesexFells #boston #MA

A brown wooden sign on a post, that says in white lettering:

BOOJUM ROCK
282 ft
DCR

Behind the sign is a gray ledge (that the sign sits on), beyond that mostly leaveless trees, and beyond that on the horizon the tall buildings of a city... downtown Boston in this case.

The sky above is blue with beautiful puffy white clouds.

The whole scene is lit by the sun off to the right.

and the #sunset ☀️✨🧡🩵

#MiddlesexFells #forest

Sunset through the trees on the hill in the forest. The bare trees and brushes are lit in warm orange, and the somber blue sky is littered with dark whale like clouds. Some tall pine trees on both sides. Messy but a beautiful scene.

Took my first hike at Middlesex Fells today. Somehow the promised 2.9 mile hike turned into a 3.9 mile hike! Not a problem but a difference between online map and the actual signage.

The fall is in full force. Photos didn’t do justice today at the fells forest.

#MiddlesexFells #autumnLeaves

Picturesque autumn scene at the edge of the reservoir where the curved muddy shore is decorated with bright colors of yellow, orange and green leaves. And the colors are reflecting on the mirror-like water’s surface. The sky is clear and blue. What a beautiful day!

Just had a fabulous nap after having the Covid jab and the subsequent hike in the Fells forest. 🥱😊
What a beautiful fall day! Not a single cloud in the sky.

#MiddlesexFells #autumnLeaves

Picturesque fall scene at the reservoir, the sun shines lighting up the turning leaves, the clearest blue sky reflecting on the water’s surface. The photo cannot do justice.
