**Unfortunately, all photos from this little outing were lost; or maybe it really doesn't matter since it was "just" a walk in a very small park**
This was not a hike by any stretch, and it barely merits a mention here, but it was a walkabout during which we espied some critters, so a mention it gets.

This is another local county park that I thought would provide a nice change of pace for our daily constitutional, and it did, it just isn’t quite as big as I thought. The sun was shining on the recently improved bridge entrance.

[I proclaim thee, Second Bridge!]
Another recent improvement. Having never been here before, I can only assume this really is an improvement.
[Let’s reflect on that.]
The social media page for this park has several pictures of park goers coming here to feed the ducks.
[Pardon me, did you folks happen to read the online instructions?]
Our pockets were devoid of duck snacks, so we moved along quickly to avert trouble.
[Not recently improved.]
Again I assume, but the moss is a bit of a giveaway, although it does grow rapidly in these parts. I love moss. People around here spend lots of time trying to rid their lawns of it, but I’ve always thought a yard comprised of only moss would be great — soft, always green, no need to mow — perfect! This mossy pathway ringed an open picnic area, then connected back to Second Bridge. There were some unpaved trails in the fields, and we traipsed through those, disturbing a murder of crows along the way. Although not the walk I’d hoped, it was a neat little suburban respite, and it’s nice to see places like these being preserved. Especially when they have critters.
