Chestnut Hill Reservoir

My friend and I took a walk around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, walking in and out of trails there. It was a perfect night and the weather was gorgeous. It was a little cold with a slight breeze off of the water but still very comfortable. We saw a good amount of flowers as well as a couple chipmunks, although I couldn't get any pictures of those. We looked and walked for a long time, determined to find any sort of fungi but we couldn't find any. The closest thing we could find was some moss and although this isn't a fungi, at least they both grow close to the ground! We went at the perfect time and got to see the sun set over the water as well as the moon shining down, reflecting off of the water. It is starting to be fall and I love it, there were leaves everywhere on the ground and a lot of the trees were turning brown, orange, yellow and red. I got to see a fish flop in the reservoir and that was pretty exciting. I really enjoyed this beautiful walk!
