Discovery Lake, San Marcos

Below are a few photos from around Discovery Lake in San Marcos, which is a nice little gem hidden in Discovery Hills.
                              
                             
                             
The photo in the bottom right corner is a little (ok extremely) hard to see but there is a duck feeding a chick.
Discovery Lake is at the end of Foxhall just beyond the small park and tot lot. The loop around the lake is part of the San Marcos trail system, which includes over 50 miles of hiking/biking trails throughout the community.
