shelby marshes



It was another beautiful day for a walk, and today we chose Shelby Park. A little way up the path, we saw a small trail leading through some puddles to a marshy pond. In the summer, the pond is invisible through the thick brush that grows in the wetland area, so it was a surprise to us to discover it. Shelby has a great little ecosystem in the middle of the city for birds and other wildlife, with plenty of nesting boxes provided. We even found out today about a new wildlife center in the works for the park. Our short afternoon walk was a good opportunity to give thanks for such a unique place so close to our city home.
