Mittineague Park, West Springfield

steps, originally uploaded by Lizzie~Belle.

I met Flickr friend Rusty in West Springfield today, and we went to Mittineague Park for a photowalk. I'd never been there before, and there were lots of great photo ops from stone bridges to the Westfield River.





You have to cross the railroad tracks to get to the river, and we had to wait for a train to pass before we could do that.



The train was stopped when I took this one.



At last, we came to the river.







There was a line of floats across the river here, and beyond you could hear the falls.



This is where the railroad crosses a stream just before it meets the river.



Goldenrod signals the nearing end of summer.



Back over the tracks, where bits of trains litter the ground.



We then went up to a pond, where frogs and dragonflies play.







It was starting to get hot at that point, so we left the rest for future exploration. Thanks, Rusty, for showing me a new place!
