A walk around the Acushnet Sawmill

The Acushnet Sawmill is a Park managed by the Buzzards bay Coalition, formally it was a large, bustling lumber yard owned by the Acushnet Saw Mills Company, but now is a 19-acre park, where people can go for a walk, go fishing, paddle a canoe upriver, or look for birds and wildlife.

Its a spot I visit often as it is close to the Salon where our Daughter In Law does my wife's hair and I will often pop there after heading somewhere else for a walk for a quick walk around to relax in the fresh air before heading back to the Salon to be ready when Lulu is finished and ready to head home.

Now most of my previous posts here have focused on the small lake in this park, but these shots are on some of the trails there besides a running stream.

Its beautiful there, you can hear plenty of birds chirping the breeze rustling the leaves of the trees.
Speaking of Birds don't be expecting any shots of birds from here, they like to tease me and as soon as I start to move my camera to aim at them they fly off out of view.

But being there beside the water with all the fresh greens is so relaxing and calming to ones soul.

Some of these shots were taking from the viewpoint you can see in the next shot under the barren tree.

Its such a beautiful area, and most times I have bene there there is hardly anyone else there, perhaps because its on a working day in late morning, but some I have spoken to here did not know about this or some of the other parks run by the Buzzards Bay group here, I sometimes get the feeling that not as many people enjoy getting out for walks with nature and fresh air as they did when I was growing up, which I feel is a shame
