  14. On a hot summer's day, I headed to the local park near me to decompress. I tend to do the same trails when I visit the park but on this day I went down a different path and I am so glad I did, as I got to experience this lovely, tranquil spot and the slowly moving water was just what I needed on this day. A very calm and quiet adventure that I look forward to doing again sometime in the near future!
