Chestnut Hill Reservoir Walk- October 21, 2024

On Monday October 21st, I had a lovely walk around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir on a gorgeous fall afternoon for about 30 minutes. It was warmer than it had been over the past week, so the weather was a welcomed change. The sun was still shining and there was a nice little breeze that felt just right. For the first time, I walked by myself on one of these nature walks, and it was really nice to take my time. The trees were very colorful with bright reds, yellows, and oranges, and the reservoir looked beautiful under the sun. I was able to note the differences between the gymnosperms and angiosperms, which was a nice way to study for the upcoming exam on Thursday. Overall, it was a refreshing escape into nature, and I loved soaking it all in ahead of a very busy week!
