I have always loved visiting Bernheim Forest. It is a beautiful forest near where I live, and there are lots of pretty hiking trails. So I decided that I could go and try to take some photos of the native nature and wildlife. I went with my mom and when we arrived we parked and I got out my zoom lens. I was so excited! After we went on a hike with some of my friends, they left and my mom and I went out to the pretty canopy walk. It was truly beautiful. It had a high elevation and an overview of forest giving way into mountains and hills. After that, we went to my favorite sculpture in the park, one that you can climb in and look out around you. It is so very pretty! We walked over to the trail that we had hiked on with our friends earlier, but went the opposite direction. It was not really easy, but we made it. When we emerged from the trail, we came out and saw a squirrel not only burying its nuts, but with a nut lodged in its mouth. It just stared at me as I snapped photos of it. It was adorable!
Our last trail was a slightly longer one. We went into a short gravel road before entering a forest path. We had to hop over roots and rocks, but we finally made it out and found ourselves walking around in blue jay central. There really were blue jays flying back and forth, hopping on the ground, pecking at trees. I snapped lots of blue jay photos before we emerged from the trail and headed back home. This was a wonderful trip. Thank you for an amazing afternoon, Bernheim!
