Fresh Pond Reservation

52 degrees. LOTS of rain at various times during the day, but not completely overcast, some moments of sun, clear skies on the horizon from time to time. No rain during my trip around. I was going to make a silly remark about this being watermelon season. The object in the photo, which doesn't show up too well, is designed to resemble a Frisbee that looks like a piece of watermelon. But its not. Its a throw toy for a dog. This is the second one I've seen in the last couple of weeks. These mushrooms can be seen at post 93, slightly off the path and on the north side of the tree they call home. Today really looks like "ice out" day. I went all the way around the edge looking for ice and found just this. However, I took today's second picture thinking it was a small patch of ice visible from the top of the switchbacks. But it turned out to be a Mutt Mitt box and a sign describing the fine for not picking up after your dog.
