Happy Monday,
My world lately has been enjoying some walks during our nice weather days. We still very green here, not many leaves changing yet. One day we walked on the fire road to the lake and another day we walked on the NCR Bike trail in Sparks, Md. These are images from those two days and the first week of October.
We spooked a Great Blue Heron that was standing close to the lake.
Along the fire road and in the forest we found lots of berries and mushrooms.
Lots of fungi and mushrooms were being seen, the Great Blue Heron, Double-crested Cormorant flying by, some ferns and flowers and the dam.
We saw a Black Rat Snake on the fire road.
The fire road to the lake, this fire road ends at the lake. There are a lot of Devil's Walking stick plants with berries. The berries really pop with a pretty color.
I have posted often on different section of our walks on the NCR bike trail. This part of the NCR trail is in Sparks Md. We took a walk first and then went to do some food shopping at the Wegman's Hunt Valley Md store.
The NCR trail follows the Gunpowder River in places, the river is close to the bike trail.
Scenes from our walk on the bike trail.
Back at home on 10/3 18 the Cape May Warblers are still being seen eating the berries on the Devils Walking stick.
Thanks for your visit today! I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

Hello Eileen,
That bike trail invites to walk!
Enjoy your world!
Hello Eileen,
I love your photos from your walks in the nature. Are the snakes you see poison? The first photo is so beautiful!
Happy Monday, and happy new week!
Thanks to you for sharing friend. I love walking through nature and contemplating it Eieen.
There is a phrase by John Muir "In every walk through nature, one receives much more than what one seeks." And it is very true.
Te deseo una buena semana.
Besos.
Hello Eileen!
Such gorgeous pictures from your walk to the lake!
Beautiful scenery ! Great capture of the flying Heron bird!
Wonderful images from the lake ,the bike trail with the river and the berries!
Great collage with the mushrooms! I’m afraid of the snakes! When do they get to sleep for Winter?
Have a lovely day and a happy week!
Dimi...

...the heron in flight is wonderful.
Gorgeous scenery!
Wonderful places to 'commune' with Nature. :)
Hi Eileen, thanks for sharing your was and such beautiful photos. Have a great day!
That was supposed to say your walk...I'm still having trouble with the "L" on my keyboard!
LOVE those trail photos and that is one big beautiful black snake, we have them in our yard, but not quite this big. so much beauty out there to enjoy
A snake like that would certainly catch my attention. Here we see the odd little garter snake.
Those pics from the NCR trail look so inviting, Eileen!
Uh oh .... a Mr. No Shoulders (snake). LOL
I think those Devil's Walking Sticks are so pretty.
I love the look of this area and enjoyed all your photos Eileen. The heron in flight is always a great sight to see, fascinating collection of mushrooms, interesting to see the black rat snake. Pretty scenery! Thanks for sharing and have a great week.
What a wonderful nature walk!
I so enjoy our walks together, E!
Isn't it just so much fun to get out and take a walk. Even when we walk in the same area over and over, there is ALWAYS something new to see and enjoy!!!!
I 'think' that we'll finally get some cooler weather here by the weekend... I am ready for some REAL Autumn.....
Hugs,
Betsy
I enjoyed all your mushroom pics. Our leaves are beginning to turn in the city and are in full fall color mode up in the mountains.
Yikes, snake! I am afraid of them.
Worth a Thousand Words
SO beautiful...and I love the mushrooms too!
beautiful heron in flight!
The Devil’s Walking stick is an interesting plant … so lovely and innocent to look at compared to the snake. :)
Beautiful images from your walks. I love the heron in flight too, great capture of the moment. Wishing you a wonderful new week.
What a beautiful photo of the heron flying. So much to see on the trail, especially the fungi.
Beautiful nature, always nice to make a walk and enjoy all the beauty of the surroundings. Ugh I'm afraid of that Black Rat Snake I think.
Have a nice week,
Janneke
I enjoyed everything about this walk, even the black snake! Those are great mushrooms. I've actually dream about the beautiful meadow full of various kinds of fungi we saw when we were in Alaska. (Not what we necessarily expected there, but a wonderful bonus.)
seems you are behind us when it comes to autumn. Many trees did not get autumn colors as they dried this summer. Too little water.
Have a nice week.
Great photos! The trail alongside the river looks like a very good place to walk. We are seeing a lot of mushrooms here right now, too.
Have a wonderful week!
Love the Cape May warblers.. I don't think they get this far north. Beautiful pictures. It's nice that you have those places to walk so nearby. Pretty country.Nice Mosaics Eileen..
I just discovered Wegmans while we were at a horse show in Syracuse, NY. WOW!!! I wish we had one in Connecticut! -
Your photos are lovely - hiking is a great way to get exercise and see the great outdoors - and you're right about kayaking... it's tricky getting in and out, lol.
Lovely walking trails and lovely sights.
How nice for you . . . for your walks!
Lovely scenes much like ours in KY. Not a whole lot of color, just yet.
Great capture of the heron in flight.
Beautiful pictures.. I saw a rattle snake resting trail side 10 years back while hiking in Angeles Forest .
I bet that road lined in berries is so pretty in real time!! Thanks for taking us along.
Such a beautiful nature walk today, Eileen! So many interesting plants and wildlife to see. Such a perfect time of year for walking in the woods. x Karen
