Browning Mill Pond

1.7 miles; Exeter and Richmond, RI

Just a short pre-lunch walk with a friend around this pretty little pond.

We ambled through the abandoned fish hatchery and stopped to admire the cardinal flowers in bloom.

There were also some very attractive joe pye weed plants that seemed to be a smaller variety than the ones you see everywhere this time of year. Quite nice, almost like they were a dwarf variety.

These old fish ponds look like they could still be used. It’s a mystery.

Glad that the RI DEM’s plans to build a new headquarters on the shores of this tranquil little pond were scrapped. It’s such a lovely spot!
