1st Nature Walk

Everyday, I go to the reservoir for a run and to also walk while I catch up with family on the phone. When I went for my walk yesterday, about an hour in total, it was a beautiful day (about 80 degrees) and sunny. There was a nice cool breeze that would blow. While there, I saw groups of animals, from geese to even some turtles lounging on a rock. The geese appeared to be eating. I came across several different types of plants and flowers, some of which were growing down near the water and others at the top part of the reservoir. These plants were scattered throughout the entire reservoir at different locations around.
