Hike around Westminster Ponds

Another hot and humid day. I drove to Westminster Ponds to join up with the TVTA hikers - and missed them! Had left the house just a bit too late. Still, another hiker had cut it just a bit too tight as well and we set off together into the wilderness of the woods surrounding the ponds. The mosquitos were fierce. Although I had sprayed myself (almost all over) with bug spray, they just loved my hands and face.

At the water's edge: plenty of lilies floating on the surface.

The emerald lagoon.

The path: at times steep and covered in roots.

I would not say that we were lost - but I certainly did not know where exactly we were, either. Thus when we chanced upon the TVTA hikers somewhere in the woods, there was no question about not joining them. The hike leader knew where the cars were parked!

Back in the safety of the group.
