The trail

One of my favourite walks, any time of the year, is around Kent's Pond, which is not that far from our house, and a place that is instantly relaxing. You're in the woods in moments, and you forget that a few hundred metres away cars are zooming on the Parkway, Higgins Line or Portugal Cove Road. You can't hear much except the birds, the ducks on the pond, the wind weaving through the trees and sometimes just the reeds scratching each other.
