These photos are from my short walk at The Loch a couple weeks ago. The Loch is The Loch Raven Reservoir in Baltimore County, Maryland.
I spied this cool looking tree from the street and wanted to get a closer look.
I had to walk through some brambles but got pretty close before my husband chastised me a bit for getting too close to a tree that could topple down. I didn't feel threatened by the tree but was a little annoyed at the swampy water that seeped into my shoe but it was totally worth it!
Additionally, if I hadn't ventured closer to the tree then I may not have seen this...
I know! Pretty dang cool! If only it weren't up so high or if only I were taller..lol! I'm still happy I saw it and got a photo of it. It was a little windy out and the trees were swaying but not in a threatening way but more of a low whispering way.
I took two small walks in the same area. My husband walked with me on this first one.
I found this interesting looking rock but interestingly enough, it wasn't even a rock but a small piece of wood.
After this photo my husband drove us up to the next spot.
He didn't bring his heavier jacket and it was chilly with the wind. I was happy to continue my walk alone though.
I had so many thoughts going through my head and I welcomed the few minutes alone. I was hurting from the walking too but I try very hard to not complain about that and I know my limits and try to stay within them for the most part. I spotted something fluttering on a brier and went for a closer look.
Some people would say it is a sign from Heaven. I'll take that even if this place is known for waterfowl.
The views were pretty and the water was high.
I came upon this tree that looks a lot like the tree in the beginning of my post but it's lying down.
I saw quite a few trees were dropping some of their bark and I had to laugh at this nubby looking tree!
These are my last three photos. I'm ready to lay down now. Hope everyone has or had a beautiful day!!
Thank you
