This Week's Free Photo - Mercer Lake


Just a reminder: It's okay to leave comments!


This is my free photo of the week post! In my defense, I didn't say EVERY week, even if that was implied...

I took a little walk around Mercer Lake yesterday. I had to get away from things for a while and partake in a bit of exercise. The loop around is about 4 miles, so that should do it for this year.

All I had was my phone camera with me, so the pics aren't the highest quality. But they are free for you to use! It always amazes me how many trails, ponds, and lakes there are in the DC suburbs, and that in such a densely populated area it is still possible to find (somewhat) natural places to which one can escape. At the spot where I stood for the first photo, not a single house was in sight.

Although it's late in the year, there are still a few flowers blooming. I have no idea what this little blue one is.

And I couldn't do a picture post without a few mushrooms sprouting from an old tree trunk!

Stop back again! I'll have more photos for you next week (well, eventually...)!

    1. So do I, and they're all around me! It's this working-for-a-living crap that really gets in the way! I get to work when it's still dark and the sun is on it's way down by the time I get home. Doesn't leave much time to do anything outdoors.
