Charlotte's Quest Nature Center


I am linking up with   Mosaic Monday and Through My Lens   and Our World Tuesday    and NF Trees

They are all fun memes to participate in...I hope you can join in with the fun  and check out some of the participating posts.

It's a new day and a new week, start off fresh to accomplish your best! Happy Monday, everyone! 

Hubby and I decided to visit a new local park nearby for our walk and to do some birding. The Pine Valley Park is adjacent to the Charlotte's Quest Nature Center. The nature center is located on 60 acres, has a pond, stream and wildlife and has 4 1/2 miles of hiking trails. The trails consists of fields, and a wooded area with the Pine trees and hardwood forest. 


Above the parks picnic area, bridge and trail, Redwing blackbird, trail near field, catbirds, hardwood forest and ferns.


The Gray Catbird was a common bird seen that day along with the Redwing Blackbirds. Other birds were heard more than seen like the Ovenbird, Wood Thrush and the American Robins.


 For my NF Tree entry a view of the pine and hardwood trees seen at the park.



A view of the pond and barn, a Redwing Blackbird and some colorful weeds.


I do not think the barn is part of the park property but it is adjacent to the property and pond. There is a trail around the pond with benches. I really liked the reflection of the barn.




I like the round window on this barn and the reflection of the barn in the pond.

I hope you enjoyed our walk and the images. Also, thank you for stopping by and for the nice comments. Have a great day and new week ahead.


I use Pic Monkey to create my mosaics, you can use Pic Monkey free or pay for an upgraded version.
