Cutler Park

[urbpan]

My dad visited, so we took him and the dogs to Cutler Park. Okay, I admit it, fall in New England is breathtaking. I only wish it wasn't followed by 6 months of winter.





We came across a lot of these grasshoppers on the boardwalk. A couple of them had their abdomens jammed in the wood grain like this. They must have been laying eggs!




I was very excited to see a snake basking on the cut cattails!




It was so pretty I'm having a hard time editing myself.






I collected mushrooms to make spore prints. Not as many colorful ones as last week, but some nice ones for sure.






Alexis found an injured hatchling snapper, and moved it from a mud puddle into the swamp.

Aww, what was wrong with the wee snapper? Do you think it'll survive on its own?

i bet (hope) it's dead by now. something/someone had stepped on it, it couldn't turn its head to the left and its left eye was bulging out of the socket. :(

That is so pretty, thanks for sharing. I do miss New England autumns. There really isn't any fall color here.

Thanks, Autumn in New England is spectacular, but is it worth the long winter? Dunno, I'm interested to try to live without the and see how I like it.
