This is my favorite picture from today's Urban Nature Walk in Forest Park, a huge city park in the third largest city in Massachusetts, Springfield. I grew up two towns away from here, but had never explored it quite like this. Here's my favorite picture from the walk, from about halfway through. But let's see how we got there!

lots and lots of photos )

A great walk! If you'd like to get in on the action go here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/68443835849/

This series of photos is from Forest Park in Springfield, Mass. Springfield is the largest city on the Connecticut River, the third largest city in Massachusetts, and the largest city of the many named Springfield. Forest Park is a huge city park that includes athletic fields, picnic areas, duck ponds, and an expansive wooded area that feels like you could get lost in it (but you probably can't). Much of the wooded area is clearly a part that used to be used more but was allowed to get overgrown.
