A couple of days ago I went with family to visit the area around Battle Creek, Michigan. There is a lovely state recreation area called Ft. Custer State Recreational Area there.
A cute, little mushroom alongside a walking path.
This is a sample of poison ivy, which is native to most of the US. For my European readers, this is a plant you should not touch. It doesn't sting like nettles, but it does in most people create an irritated rash. If you're looking it up online, try the generic name Toxicodendron, IIRC.
This is the outflow from one of the three little lakes/large ponds. There are many lily pads growing in the water.
Goldenrod!
Some lily pads with their blossoms.
This is a lovely natural area, with paved access and many walking trails. There are areas with picnic tables and little fire boxes.
This was a very pleasant outing, and the walking trail was gentle and not too much for my recovering leg.
