Springfield, VA (USA)

The weather was great today so I took a break from work and went for a walk on the Accotink Creek Bike Trail. When Mollie was finishing up her CCD classes a few years ago, I killed time here (waiting for her) but hadn’t been back since. Between about 1030 and 1145, I walked along the creek (north of Old Keene Mill Road) until I reached the train trestle along the edge of the Lake. There were puddles and mud everywhere but not a lot of people. It was sunny and warm and I saw lots of different birds. Some excitement: I saw Animal Control rescuing an injured goose (caught in fishing line); I dodged a Public Works tractor mower. Glad I could try something different for an exercise route!
