| Greeting from CCSU (see yesterday's post). |
The picture above in front of the Administrative offices for CCSU was taken at the end of today's walk. As I mentioned yesterday, the closure of the campus forced me to explore other areas in the vicinity. The weather today was gorgeously sunny and I walked for a couple of hours.
 |
| A babbling brook along the way. |
After nice hike chatting on my cell phone with my son, Richard, I decided to explore a park with a sign advertising a nature walk. Of course, there was a warning sign at the start of the paved trail (see below).
 |
| Better practice Social Distancing or the virus will get you (maybe). |
I soon came upon a pretty lake/pond. Due to the weather, there were lots of people out and the efforts at "social distancing" weren't particularly rigid. The sunshine is a subversive force.
 |
| Map of the park. I started down in the lower left and went north clockwise. |
As I walked along the path (1.5 miles), I noticed small painted rocks alongside the trail...like an Easter Egg hunt almost. I think it was done for Earth Day (which was April 22nd).
There were a LOT of painted rocks. They made the walk all the more delightful. I had to stop several times to admire and photograph some of them.

If you click on the pictures above, a larger image will pop-up so that you can see the details on the rocks. The white and red rock with bird is the Polish flag (bc there is a large Polish contingent in this area).
 |
| Panoramic view from the little dam at the south end (see map above). |
Just as I was taking the picture above, I heard a bird nearby (see below). Sun, birds, rocks, people, outdoors, walking. Wow.
 |
| Watch out. Be inactive (passive). Don't question. |
So we started the pictures above with a Covid-19 warning sign and will end with another one.
Nonetheless, it was a great time: sunshine, outdoors, walking, talking with my son (via cell phone), enjoying the park, the painted rocks, birds singing, people living.
