The First Day of Spring in Holmdel Park

Nice shots of the park on a eerie, foggy day. The arboretum is a great place to explore. I found chestnuts on the ground last year. I also like the pictured lakeside spot, but my favorite place is a tree-sheltered bench on the near side of the lake. There is some lakeside flora that attracts the fish to the shoreline. I like to sit there in the summertime to read a book, hear the fish splash around once in awhile, and engage the folks walking by with their dogs. There's even a horse-drawn carriage that comes by along the road. I wish the main building still had a food concession. The county ought to consider leasing it out to a professional vendor. They'd have to be environmentally conscious, so litter wouldn't become a problem, but I'd spend money there to have lunch.
