Hammond Pond Walk on June 4, 2021

I walked for about an hour in the woods adjacent to Hammond Pond. It was warm, but overcast, and the biting insects were, surprisingly, not noticeable. There have been other times of the year when I noticed far more types of fungi, maybe they come out more in cooler fall. I love this place because it has wetland, forest, rocky ledges... so much diversity of habitat. It has trails but also is open and small enough to easily just wander without getting too lost (if you head far enough in any direction you'll find a familiar road). I haven't been taking as many walks on my own lately, and this one reminded how much I love wandering (which is, to me, slower and less intentional than "hiking") in the woods on my own!
