Traveling Sunday ...again


Sunday was not only a beautiful day but James, the Lacustrian, and Me, Granbee, had the whole afternoon to ourselves, so after a terrific church service we headed north to Camden.  But first we stopped at a nifty and swampy area to check out some plants.


This was the site of a letter box we searched out last week but we spied a different water 
plant flourishing along the pond edge.  The lacustrian rapidly took notice so had to return.  


Once we found out what it was "water shield" we had to return for a better look. 


And yes, we were wading in to get a sample and yes, it is now happily growing 
in the greenhouse.  Lacustrian admitted that he missed "swamping around"
Once we had a successful harvest we back tracked to get that letter box we couldn't
 nab last week because of all the people traffic.



This turned out to be one of those lovely old cemetery that has been greatly neglected.  After climbing up a steep by small hill we were greeted by a ground full of acorns and hickory nuts, mushrooms and wintergreen berries. 


Back in one corner was this once magnificent mausoleum that really needed a lot of TLC. 


Here are place the remains of George Marsden and his wife. 


Had fun gathering tops to acorns for a winter Christmas project.


Found our letterbox and headed out to Camden and a trip through Forest Glen,
another gem in the middle of a village.
