Fall Colors

We still do not have any vibrant colors around our neighborhood. So drove an hour to Keystone State Park for a trail walk. The 2 mile loop around the lake was perfect. It was drizzling with occasional rain showers. I do not have any National Park visits planned in the near future but state parks are beautiful close to home and easily accessible . Well maintained bathrooms and lots of easy trails along with beautiful scenery hoping to hit as many as possible the coming weeks.

This is for Terri’s Flower Hour Challenge. I loved Cee’s Flower of the Day (missing her so much). I hope I can make a post for Terri’s flower of the hour challenge every week.

Want to know more about the challenge. Here is the link.

    What a lovely and serene outing you’ve described! Even without vibrant colors in your own neighborhood, you found a perfect pocket of peace and natural beauty at Keystone State Park. There’s something so special about a lakeside trail in a gentle rain—the way the water looks, the fresh smell of the wet earth, and the quiet that often comes with a drizzle. It sounds absolutely perfect.

    It’s wonderful that you’re appreciating the beautiful and accessible gems that are our state parks. They truly are a fantastic resource, offering well-maintained facilities and lovely trails without the need for extensive travel. Your plan to visit as many as possible in the coming weeks is a fantastic goal.

    This is a beautiful, reflective post, and it will make a wonderful entry for Terri’s Flower Hour Challenge. It’s a touching tribute to the spirit of flower and nature appreciation that Cee fostered so well. She is indeed missed by many. I have no doubt you’ll bring that same thoughtful and appreciative eye to Terri’s challenge each week. I’m already looking forward to your next post
