Clinton Nature Preserve

I can understand why birds, and people, fly south for the winter. The weather in
the winter season is more like an extension of fall or an early spring here in Georgia. Today felt like a warm spring day, so we ventured out to explore new territory, and found the Clinton Nature Preserve.

This 200 acre park was formerly the homestead of the Clinton family, and was donated by Ms. Annie Mae Clinton to Douglas County as a conservation area.

                            There are three nature trails to choose from.

We chose the Yellow Trail which is 1.2 miles with a moderate difficulty rating. It wasn't bad at all. There were certain sections of the trail that did have some minor hills and rocky footing but nothing too strenuous.

It was in the mid 60's today. Aaron was wearing shorts.

The leaves in the sunlight looked like orange hearts.

As Tiny Elvis would say, "Look at that pinecone man, that thing is HUGE!"

This was the lake activity area. You're allowed to fish in the lake.

Some parts of the trail were sandy.

A tree that looks like a bench is the perfect spot to sit for a photo opportunity.

After completing our walk around the Yellow Trail we walked the half-mile track that encircles a playground area. Just look at that gorgeous sky!

And check out this gorgeous guy! :)

Here's to the warm winter weather and new explorations.
