Echo Pond in a mixed hardwood-coniferous forest. Lily pads, snag trees, and signs of beaver activity. Rocky Woods Reservation, Medfield, Massachusetts

---

The image captures Echo Pond at Rocky Woods Reservation, surrounded by a mixed hardwood-coniferous forest typical of the New England region. The forest contains a blend of Eastern White Pine, Red Maple, and Oak species. Beaver activity is evident near the pond - a wetland area with aquatic plants such as lily pads covering parts of the water. Snag trees (standing dead trees) are visible around the pond, providing habitat for various wildlife. The peaceful autumn scenery is enhanced by the reflection of the trees on the pond, illustrating the biodiversity of the wetland and forest ecosystem.
