I visited Chestnut Hill Reservoir for a 30-minute nature walk. The weather was sunny with a light breeze, perfect for exploring the area. Here are some of the observations I made along the way:

Eastern Cottontail Rabbit - I spotted a rabbit on the grassy patch near the road. It was calmly eating grass despite the nearby activity. The rabbit’s large ears and the shadowy lighting made it stand out as I observed it from a distance.

White Flowers – These stunning white flowers with yellow centers caught my attention. They were blooming beautifully, and I also noticed smaller blue flowers nestled among the greenery.

Mushrooms – I found a couple of mushrooms in a grassy area. One was larger and had a scaly texture on top, while the smaller one looked smooth. They added a bit of natural interest to the area as they sat under the trees.

Oak Trees – A cluster of large oak trees provided shade and made for a peaceful section of the walk. The golden light filtering through the leaves gave the space a calm and serene feeling.

Bee on Flower – I captured a bee on a vibrant orange and yellow flower. The bee was busy collecting nectar, adding a lovely touch of activity to the surrounding beauty.

Overall, it was a peaceful walk full of interesting wildlife and plant life. The changing light throughout the day made it even more enjoyable, and I appreciated the diversity of nature that was present, even in an semi-urban setting.
