Hollyhock Hollow Sanctuary(Selkirk)

The trade off for our seemingly non stop wet weather has been a recent warm up, so I took advantage of a dry slot this afternoon and headed over to the Hollyhock Hollow Sanctuary, located at 46 Rarick Road in Selkirk.  I was the only car there when I arrived and headed off into the damp woods along the Creek Trail. Almost immediately I ran into an eerie fog hanging over the Onesquethaw Creek.

 I took my time strolling along the creek, enjoying the creepy vibe.

 Still a little fall color hanging on along the creek.

 Most of the foliage I did manage to see were oranges and yellows, but I did get lucky to spot a little dab of red.

Eventually the Creek Trail comes to a crossing over Rarick Road and enters the deep woods.  I looped along most of the trails, soaking in the peaceful tranquility. 

 While many trees have already shed their leaves, others are still looking like they are peak.

While I was looking up at the trees most of the walk, I guess I should've been looking down as well, because I was literally covered in ticks once I got back to the car.

An easy 2 miles RT.
