Walk, Day 5

I am continuing my walks, places where I've never walked before.

There's a street that loops off one that I travel often by car. There was never a reason to take that loop, and it does not appear to be particularly scenic. There are some corporate offices located here, and lots of undeveloped land. I parked the car and began my walk.

I passed by the Ben and Jerry's. I hadn't realized that this was one of their locations.

Even though there is a lot of open space, the land is really well maintained.

 There are a few picnic tables here, no doubt for the workers. (What look like balls in the background are rock sculptures.)

I discovered that this street is quite scenic after all. And another one to return to for more walks.

Walk, Day 4

There's a street I drive on frequently in the next town. There are trees and bushes along the sidewalk. I noticed what looked to be a path off from the sidewalk. 

A few weeks ago I parked on that street to walk on the path. To my surprise, there was a scupture garden! Who knew?

The path was actually a loop around the garden. The sculptures could be viewd from different perspectives.

(Notice one of several benches.)
 

I was happy to discover this garden while summer flowers are still in bloom. 

I will keep this place in mind as a somewhere nearby to come, just to take time to relax and enjoy nature.

 

Walking Day 3

A few weeks ago, I needed to go to Waterbury. I parked in the lot behind the new library. I was surprised to see what looked like a garden with a trail. I decided that after my meeting, I would see where that trail leads.

I continued walking under the trellis.

From there I walked along the grassy trail that led down to a graveled road. From the road I could see the Winooski River and the bridge. 

When there's a bridge, then I will cross it to see what's on the other side.

Although I could continue, I thought it best to turn around and return to my car before I went too far.

Coming back through the garden, I noticed picnic tables. This, too, would be a great place to return and bring lunch!
