On a beautiful autumn day we walked out along the trail in the Low Plain Natural Area to the Turtle Point blind.
Shady paths through the woods, warm sun on our faces in the meadows, the smell of the sun on the goldenrods and asters, the trilling of the crickets and murmuring of the chickadees.

| Hemlock woods |
 |
| Goldenrod plants contain an entire ecosystem |
 |
| Crooked-stem asters have yellow centers to attract bees, then change to red centers after the flowers have been fertilized |
 |
| Sun-baked meadows |
 |
| Viburnum |
 |
| A whole world of predators and prey |
 |
| Silver-rod, the only white Solidago |
 |
| Approaching the swamp |
 |
| Daddy Long-legs in the blind with us |
 |
| Red maple and white pine |
 |
| Paper birches |
