Back to the Pond

It was a nice warm day on a weekend and I wanted to avoid the COVID-crowds at the state parks … back to Stoney Pond.

It’s “punky’ season.

Since the last walk through the woods, I got the GPS tracking/hiking app working on my phone, so that was a nice development from last time I went and double backed at the end of the day, uncertain how much further I needed to walk to complete a loop back to my car (I made the right choice, it turns out).

This turned out to be a very unremarkable, although not disappointing day, for the man behind the camera. It is hard to be disappointed when you travel out of the house mid-day in hard light on a windy day knowing that the odds of capturing an image worth putting on your wall is remarkably slim.

As it turns out, my expectations were well-measured. I managed only a few snapshots.

Nothing to write home about.
