Rockwood Reservation: Saturday, May 11, 2013

 The bridge at the beginning of the Rock Quarry Trail (2 and one fourth  miles)
 Chunks of street concrete belie the fact that you are not far from civilization.
Sycamore Bark


The Rock Quarry


Shadows of leaves that reminded me of Asian tapestries.

The sight of a sunny path lifts spirits.

Didn't leave until 12:15 or so, on a sunny, 70 degree Saturday.  Dinner obligations stipulated a short hike, but I enjoyed myself.  Hike the Rock Quarry Trail and the Trail Among the Trees. On the trails, only saw a couple of couples and a young father with a friendly, talkative little boy wearing a Spider man cap.  He showed me leaves as I walked by, and wanted to sit on the bench where I was writing in my journal.  It was breezy, and after awhile, my eyes began to itch and nose to get a bit watery, but all in all, a lovely day for a hike. Stopped and took my heart rate a couple of times after climbing hills, but wasn't very out of breath.
