Out and About: Away From the News

After watching and reading too much about the coronavirus on Tuesday,  I made an escape from the house and visited two local preserves and a park. I felt much better having gotten out and about to enjoy views at Round Lake Preserve, some boot sucking mud at Ballston Creek Preserve, and fast moving streams at Shenantaha Creek Park. Take a look!
