DW PARK FIELD TRIP

Yesterday morning I met my friend Mike for a combination physical & nature walk in DW Field in Brockton,  MA. Mike is doing research on a murder that happened in the 1920's. His mother gave him some background information on the rape of a young girl that occurred in the park. By the way Mike loves young girls. LOL. Any way I'm getting side tracked. That story for another blog. Just don't mention the name, Tiffany. We went into the park for about a mile. He showed me an area where people came for swimming & picnicking. It was very sad. The swimming hole was overgrown & dried up. The benches where visitors watched their families swimming were there but nothing else. You would never know that the swimming hole was hidden behind trees & bushes. It was rather sad. We walked a little further & came upon a swan family. They came paddling over to us, probably thinking we brought food, not to say hi. It was time to leave because I had to get to work to open our office, plus the heat wave we're having is continuing to be in the 90's. We also saw some birds that were black with orange wings. I have a bird identifying book in my phone but of course I didn't have it with me. Some explorer I am. As we were leaving we spotted a couple unusual dragonflies. I did have my camera with me. I hate to make excuses but the pictures would have been  better if I had a close-up lens.
