🍂 You never know what you’ll discover at Mallows Bay Park!

On the banks of the Burning Basin, I stumbled upon a persimmon tree, its bright orange fruit glowing among the autumn leaves. A little reminder that there’s always something new to notice when we slow down and look around. 🍊🍁

Join us on November 14 at noon for a guided hike at Mallows Bay Park with Walk Charles County and Mallows Bay-Potomac River National Marine Sanctuary!

Come out to notice nature, get some fresh air, and connect with others. You never know what you might discover along the way. 💚
