The Fells

The Fells is a fairly large wooded area about 5 miles north of Boston with a few bodies of water in it. I-93 also cuts through the middle of the area, going north/south. The South Reservoir is on the west side of it and my friend Tom and I hiked around the area. It was in mid-October and the leaves were in full color mode. Some of the areas looked like a Bob Ross painting complete with some "happy trees" scattered around. There were a lot of freaky trees there too. Here are some photo highlights of our travels.

October 18, 2023.

The next day we went to the deCordova Statue Park complete with various photos of that trip too.

It's a little weird with the rotation, but I mostly wanted to capture the sound of the stream—which was interrupted by a cell phone <doink>.

The next day we went to the deCordova Statue Park complete with various photos of that trip too.
