We had time to kill last week whilst waiting for an appointment in Orange, MA, so we took a walk in the Kiwanis Bicentennial Park.
It's a lovely, easy walk around 3 ponds, one of which has been dammed by beavers, the top edge of which you can see around the tree in the pic below
There were waterlilies and Red-winged Blackbirds everywhere
Looking up to an enormous Black Cherry tree
It was a very peaceful, serene spot -
- made all the more wonderful by the intense fragrance of the mat of tiny partridgeberries blooming on the forest floor - incredible how pungent and heady a scent these little fuzzy flowers produce en masse. We were clearly there at the right time. This pic shows them amongst the pine needles to give an idea of how small they are.
