After being in Boston for a week, when I took a walk at Brightwood Park yesterday I found the foliage almost over. Two turtles were still enjoying the sunlight around noon time. Judging by the difference in the look of their shells, I guessed there was a parent (or grandparent) accompanied by a youngster. A few maple leaves were still hanging on a tree, Four were dancing in the wind as a group. Another one dressed in a darker color was doing a solo. The audience happened to be a few remaining leaves on an oak tree. On the trail leading to Fanwood Avenue entrance, two years ago I found on a slope a tiny patch of orange-colored lichens-like plant. I was happy to see the plant still being there . The fallen leaves surrounding formed a frame for the beautiful little creature. On the back trail, berries of red and purple colors could still be found. I was wondering if the birds decided to spare them for my entertainment. A hole on an oak tree near the dam and bridge caught my attention. After peeking inside I was amazed by the decorative fungi on the wall and a clean and neat wooden floor, looking like a place ready for rent. Not sure who had been living there but sure enough, the residents kept the place very well. Comments are closed.
