Stony Brook Reservation

Rich leafy goodness

No, we didn't go up to New Hampshire today. We took a walk along the path that meanders through Stony Brook Reservation on the Hyde Park/West Roxbury line, ending up at the dock across Turtle Pond from the one you normally see on Enneking Parkway. For a few seconds, we had some company:

The forest before the storm

I was just going to go out to the store today, but then I saw Anali's calm before the storm photos and decided to detour via Stony Brook Reservation first, to see the forest before it's re-covered in snow again.

Even in the middle of winter, there's a surprising amount of color in the forest:

Oh, deer

Rockbalancer photographs the bottom part of a deer's leg in Stony Brook Reservation (along with other, more pleasant things) - which is where West Roxbury, Hyde Park and Roslindale come together:

There was no sign of the rest of the deer.

Hmm: Deer in Boston? Deer in Boston! Coyote in the Arboretum. You don't think the coyote grew tired of ~~roadrunners~~ tiny little yap dogs and swung south in search of more substantial food, like venison?

Winter in the forest

Stony Brook Reservation is an amazing thing - an actual forest within Boston's city limits. Its trails bring you past rocky outcroppings and valleys carved by glaciers, a large pond and, of course, zillions of trees. There's something particularly serene about walking on the trails during a snowstorm.
