Today's run began at Martins Farm. I left early enough to manage to get a parking spot here.

This is my absolute favorite spot to run along the Suwanee Greenway. Technically when you get to George Pierce it is the Ivy Creek Greenway but since it doesn't connect to the rest of the Ivy Creek Greenway and does connect to Suwanee, it just doesn't make sense to talk about that. STOP TEASING US GWINNETT COUNTY!

This is where you will find snakes in the summer, deer in the fall and winter and hawks year round, like today when one almost took off my head.

I just think this is the prettiest part. I prefer running on the boardwalk.

I have seen some cranes here in warmer weather also.
