It sounds like you had a wonderful walk! It's always so rewarding to see the beauty of nature, especially when it's in its own wild state.
I love the photos you shared. The wild thistles are so beautiful, and I've never seen a variety without thorns before. The ducks are also lovely, and I bet they were enjoying the peace and quiet of the park.
I'm glad you were able to pick some wildflowers to bring home. They're a lovely reminder of your walk, and they'll brighten up your home for weeks to come.
