Wasn't the weather this weekend just spectacular?! With that being said, I was out for a hike during The Last Green Valley's "Walktober Weekend."
Where might the Last Green Valley be, you may ask? Well, believe it or not, it is right here in northeastern Connecticut and has been given the distinction by airline pilots as being the only "dark spot" on the ground in the densely populated corridor between Washington, D.C. and Boston. Fewer people = less light pollution = more forests and farms + more nature-based recreational opportunities.

So, to Cat Hollow Park, I went. And boy, was it beautiful!

On the trail, I spotted the very large spider pictured here. Spiders are NOT insects, but belong to a family known as ARACHNIDS.
