Swofford Pond


Day 28: Swofford Pond is one of my favorite drive-to places. For one thing, I like to fish there, but I also enjoy hiking the 1.25 mile (one way) South Swofford Wetland Trail which nearly always holds some natural beauty for my camera lens. Today, the reward came before the hike began, striking gold with this small maple and the beautiful sky and reflection behind it. The northside shoreline is unspoiled by development, offering a number of spots for fishermen to pull over and sit comfortably on the bank. Combustion motors are not permitted, so other than the occasional car going by, the silence is such that you can hear voices in normal conversation halfway down the lake.
