Yesterday I needed to get out of the house, so I took a short walk on Alburgh Recreational Rail-trail. I pulled in from Route 78 and drove through a stunning canopy of tall trees with bright golden leaves; the ground blanketed with them, too. I got out of my car to start walking the trail and was captivated by the constant falling leaves among the quiet atmosphere. The only sounds I heard throughout my walk were acorns falling and tiny animals scurrying about the forest. I walked along Mud Creek, a cattail marsh surrounded by forest with colorful foliage. I walked across the snowmobile bridge and through the colorful tree-lined path until I turned around and walked back to my car. The trail would have eventually led to the center of Alburgh Village, but I did not complete the whole journey. I encountered two snakes during my short walk, so I get the impression that the trail is home to many snakes. Not to mention, the snake graffiti on the abandoned trail cabin situated in the parking area.

An interesting mushroom
Thanks for the heads up
