Hi all ๐๐ป
Today I want to share some more of my RECENT adventures of traveling to the States in the form of the: โGLEN MEADOW LOOPโ ~ in ADAMS MASSACHUSETTS US ๐บ๐ธ ๐๐๐๐๐๐
With this post Iโm joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge and Make me Smile challenge. That are hosted by @tattoodjay and @elizacheng every week on Wednesday.
โผ๏ธHave a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in! if you want to joinโฆ the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at the following post : โA Way Way WAY back Wednesday Walk in NYCโ
It will tell you also the rules of joining in at the Wednesday walk posts ๐
Todayโs selection will be of 31 photographs, where I take you along on a visit to โGLEN MEADOW LOOPโ ~ in ADAMS - #Massachusetts.**
I visited this area on 29 September and it is part of my trip around some New England States in the USA 23 September - 9 October 2022 ๐บ๐ธ ๐
The Photographs in this post are taken with my new #Canon R5 with 24 - 105 mm lens. ๐๐ค
I will follow the time stamps on my photographs. So it looks like you are walking along with me on this #walk around the MEADOW LOOP ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป #discovering everything and seeing the little #details through my eyes. ๐
Let me show you first its location on Google maps, see the yellow star โญ๏ธ :
Zooming out for itโs location next to the city of Adams:
The GLEN MEADOW LOOP is part of the Greylock Glen Trails.
More information about those trails you find in the following website: Greylock Glen Trails
Letโs start our WALK now:
Are you coming along? ๐๐
At the entrance towards the trail we see a small little pond.
Than we find a gravel path leading the way for the loop. ๐ค
A grass field and a gazebo are next to us where we find some benches if you want to rest or enjoy just the surroundings. Donโt think we need to rest yetโฆ as we have to start our walk first. Maybe at the end when you are tired we can sit for a moment and watch the world go by ๐บ ๐
We find this sign that tells us the loop is 1.7 miles long. So thatโs just fineโฆ for todays Wednesday walk๐ค๐
And here we goโฆ we follow the path all the way around and have some beautiful views around us. ๐
In the distance we see:
Mount Greylock and itโs Veterans War Memorial Tower.
(I visited the tower too, but I will write another time about it ๐)
As we follow the path we see this large pond.
Surprisingly we find some apple ๐ trees along the way too ๐๐ณ๐
The #pond looks so serene this day. The #autumnal colours just started and are #reflected in the #water. ๐๐๐๐
We also find beautiful flowers along the way ๐ธ๐ผ๐
And some trees with lots of details, could a lightning โก๏ธ strike have caused the tree to split?
More wild flowers ๐ธ and a bee ๐ canโt be missed.
You must know by now, I love โค๏ธ bees ๐
And #alwaysaflower is needed in a post too ๐
Some lovely white flowers guide us further along the path ๐ฅฐ๐
The birch trees ๐ณ are just so tall and tower high above us out. What a lovely sight! Donโt you think? ๐
We walk further and furtherโฆ cross dark areas and open spaces ๐
We even find some mushrooms ๐ this fungy is found on the fallen tree. The others I will post in a separate post soon ๐ค
Next we find some iron remains in the woods. Iโm curious and walk into the forest to find out what it is. ๐ค
I see the following ruins of a building, itโs small.
It looks interestingโฆ ๐ค
From the build and the other remains we seeโฆ it looks like this is part of the bottom part of a ski lift ๐ก going up the Greylock mountain.
We see a few more buildings and when a walker saw us exploring these remainsโฆ this local confirmed what we were thinking already. ๐ค๐ก๐ก๐ก
Details of trees ๐ณ ๐ฒ along the wayโฆ
We reach the other side of the pond now as we almost finished our loop ๐
I find this cute autumn leaf ๐
We decide to look for a few moments closer at the pond. As there are some remarkable #reflections to be seenโฆ the #surface of the water is like a mirror ๐ช
Wowโฆ so beautiful ๐ฅฐ
A bit further we see the mountain also reflected in the pond โฐ
And zooming out we see it all โฐ๐๐๐ฅฐ๐
We walk towards the little gazebo now and find a few little #birds in the grass searching for #insects ๐ท
And with this last photograph I say:
thatโs all for todayโs post my friends, join me next time for more #adventures, #stories and #photographs ๐๐๐ป Even some #artworks once in a while will come by ๐จ
