a toad among nature

I’m a bit behind on my processing of photos, and getting caught up.

Here are a few shots from a walk in High Park in June.

A toad sitting on a rock. A mixed-use path leading through trees making a natural arch over the path. A tree arching over a pond and reflected in the water, making an oval shape. Some stone steps leading slightly to the left below a tree. The base of a dead tree, eroded over time.

I’d like to keep them coming as I get through my backlog. Thanks for reading!
