Looking out over Dunn's Marsh from the Cannonball Bike Path.
The Capitol City State Trail runs along the opposite shore.

A doe along the Cannonball. We stood looking at each other a good five
minutes, before a toddler a quarter mile behind me let out a loud screech
that sent the doe crashing through the underbrush.

Can you see the ducks behind the reeds?

It's hard to get a good view of the pond this time of year.

One of several inlets around the pond.

Groundhog -- I've seen a lot of them this year!

Swamp Milkweed usually flowers mid-June to Mid-August in wet habitats,
and is attractive to monarchs and other species of butterflies.



Meadowsweet along the Cannonball Path. This is a
fragrant member of the rose family that grows in marshy areas.
