Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge
Oh, the places you'll go...and go...and go.
On Saturday, I went to Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge with some friends. I've been there before, but didn't get to see as much as I wanted to. It was snowy, late, and we went on the wrong trail. Fast forward 3 months and we went back.
This time we found the boardwalk trails and there were snakes and frogs all around us. The frogs were croaking as they floated along the top of the water, some holding onto fallen twigs, and others just sprawled out with their little heads popping out. The snakes curled up on branches and basked in the sun. Some were alone, others were in pairs, but in one area we counted 5 all sitting amongst the same pile of twigs.
What a beautiful day, and I definitely would like to go back when the trees are full, when the leaves start to fall, and again when it is snow covered (basically, I'd like to see this place in all seasons).
