Wandering

 

The trail system in Forest Park, well, let's just say that I've seen systems that were much less confusing. 

A paper map could have helped. Although, I suppose these days a lot of people prefer apps like AllTrails. Not being one of those, I spend a lot of time these days just wondering as I wander. :-)

Spent the better part of a day walking the Forest Park trails in Springfield, Massachusetts. Curious about the name given to the Virginia Creeper (shown below), I looked it up. Wikipedia says, "The name Virginia creeper, referring to both the plant's 'virgin' epithet and to part of its native range in the U.S. state of Virginia, is also used for the whole genus Parthenocissus, as well as for other species within the genus."
