Beautiful late afternoon walk

We walked across the common covered with ferns this time of year with our dog running free. We then walked around the small fishing lake. The waterlilies weren't out but there were beautiful reflections of the sky on the waters surface. Plenty of benches to sit for while and watch the anglers. Very peaceful walking back to the car through the woods. It can be a ten minute walk or a longer walk if desired.
