and it's a perfectly flat path a lot of people are running hiking
walking their dogs look at these big
trees we have wild gooseberries along the trail
yeah just looks like it could tell stories
nice as you can see the river right here the colors are really soft and muted kind
of like a Monet painting you can see the leaves falling it's early October here there's a snake
that's just my pet snake reggie i hate snake shock yeah that's not cool
okay so we went up these stairs we diverted the evil black snake and we made it to the top

reflecting pool and what's interesting is the architecture is symmetrical and on either side,
