The Bruce Freeman Rail Trail is a short walk from our house and traverses a wetland that skirts our neighborhood. Early this morning, Jeanine and I completed a three-mile circuit during which we spotted a swans nest. After dinner, we made a second lap, this time with my telephoto lens in tow. Just as we arrived at the nest, we spotted the family returning from their evening swim.

On our morning walk, I spotted this painted turtle with a slug on its shell.
