Walk in Weston, CT

I decided to complete the Fall semester at home following Thanksgiving break. I took my 4-year-old sister for a walk on a cool, clear-skied 54-degree afternoon. Living in the suburbs, we are surrounded by a lot of trees, reservoirs, and forest areas. We walked around our neighborhood and through the woods. We saw birds (that were difficult to capture on camera), bushes, leaves, moss, trees, and plants. There were a lot of ferns around as well as moss and lichen covering a lot of trees and rocks. The walk was a short relaxing break from school work to spend some time with family and enjoy the fresh air.
