Reservoir Nature Walk

Today I went for a nice walk around the Chestnut Hill Reservoir. It was sunny and warm, with a slight breeze. I went in the morning, and it was about 67 degrees outside. The reservoir was beautiful, and there were a lot of wild organisms to see. There were many ducks floating on the water, grooming themselves and searching for food. There was also a small section of wild flowers that the bees were pollinating. I crouched down and observed this for a long while. There were also two white butterflies flying around, but it was just about impossible to get a picture of them. Overall, it was a beautiful walk and I enjoyed engaging with the wild organisms at the reservoir.
