We are heading into September and still the weather its quite warm. Fall seems to be just a vague word in your brain when you are walking at Joe Brown, for some reason unknown to me its always sunny as we venture into one of our hidden jewels of my community,. As we enter the park the trees are still quite thick with leaves, the grass looks moist and the air is freshest after a rainfall the night before. There is a trail wide enough for bikers, hikers and dog walkers and variety of plants for the nature lover.

Entering the park.

There was a warm sun beating down on us as we walk this awesome trail.

The trail gets a bit thick as we approach beaver territory.

The small swamp area of the park makes it a perfect stop for a drink of water.

..and I mean everyone! including our furry companions.

wild grass in the park.

Cat tails blowing in the breeze.

The beautiful stable garden ever blossoming.

Lots of flowers with beautiful colors.

..not to mention the delicious organic tomatoes.

Ted wasn’t very happy to see us interrupting his lunch..

..but Casey was delightful to see us and share her lunch.

and so was Timone,.

Perhaps that is why I love to come for a hike here, it stabilizes the rapidity of my thoughts, grounds me in a place where ticking of clocks is unregarded. A place where I can let go of the demands of technology. Cell phone off. Just me, the trees, my dog and my good boots. I only need care for the sun’s position in the sky. Free therapy. Reboot. Reset.
