Our latest All Trails find… an easy loop trail around Tillinghast Pond.
Quiet dog walk in the woods
The Pond Loop Trail is a beautiful, easy walk in the woods that our 15 year old pup handled with no problem. The trail loops around the circumference of the pond, meandering near and far from the pond edge. There are multiple benches to rest and enjoy the view along the way. The soft pine needles were lovely to smell in the scattered stands of pine.
Phebe’s Grove is a beautiful grove of pine trees on a little point of land surrounded by the pond waters. A perfect picnic spot for lunch.
Plein Air Watercolor Painting
My finished 45 minute watercolor sketch of the pond. I loved painting the pond lily pads, the reflection of the blue sky on the water and brilliant red and orange leaves of the tree. It is always a joy to start with a blank sheet of paper and leave with a reminder of the moment.
