A Resting Spot

 

 

Whenever I see this rest spot along the Long Island Greenbelt Trail, I wish I had been more interested in hiking and photography when the trail was in better condition. The spot must have been lovely when the Eagle Scout completed the project. It is hard to see in the photo but behind the bench there are remnants of what was once a garden. Although there is something a bit charming about places that time and nature are reclaiming, I still wish I had seen this rest stop in its heyday.
