Overcast but equable in a fairly busy #Royden this morning. Someone’s been spraying red paint on the parking meters. Benty’s now open Mondays, sort of.

A narrow dirt path winds through dense green foliage and dry grasses in a forested area. A rocky path leads through lush greenery overlooking fields, dense trees, and a distant body of water under a cloudy sky. A wooden sign on a gravel path advertises that Benty Farm Tearooms are open and includes an announcement about new Monday hours and offerings. A heron stands on a small floating platform in a calm, tree-lined pond while two ducks swim nearby.
