I had work assignments that kept me busy till after 6:30, but I had seen an entrance to the Clear Springs Nature Preserve on Wednesday, and wanted to check it out.
There was a map posted of the trails, but no way to figure out how long any of them might be. I took a chance on the longest, and ended up walking about two miles round trip back to the car.
Along the pond there was certain evidence of beaver activity, although I didn't see any lodges or natural dams.
There are two ponds and an old fish hatchery area. Today there was a lot of pollen floating on the water. It wasn't too attractive, but the reflections were nice.
The maple-leaved viburnum is in full bloom.
And finally, if one of you is missing your pet anteater, I know where it is.

ReplyDeletelooks like a nice park. Too funny with the anteater. I don't believe it's mine :)
ReplyDeleteJohn- There are about 6 miles of trails. Very noisy near the freeway, but obviously well-used.
ReplyDeleteChuck- We have such great variety of wildlife!
Shelly- well, this is just a township park, but I like all of them!
Ann- aw... wouldn't Duke like a playmate?
