After work today I wanted to do the whole walk on the trail behind where I work. Even though it was kind of cold, it wasn’t too bad. I threw in the car this morning some thick gloves and also a hat if I needed it. So really there wasn’t any reason why I shouldn’t go right? Well, that’s what I thought and I decided to go for the ‘cool’ look and didn’t wear the gloves or the hat. Yea, cool is right! It was down right chilly! But not the worst that I’ve ever been and I kept going. I’ve never walked this whole path before and I was anxious to do it tonight to check it out. I had pre-ordered a pizza from one of the business’s in town and after my walk I was going to head over to pick it up. I guess I didn’t walk as fast as I was thinking that I could, because I had to call them later and say that I was going to be a little late. But the extra time just checking out the area was worth it. I snapped a couple of pictures (now I sure hope you’re not rolling your eyes 🙂 ) and there was even a couple that I couldn’t get. The ones that were a given that I missed was a bunch of deer wanting to share the path with me. They took one look at me and ran pretty fast! I could also hear some in the trees while I was walking. Well, I sure hope that those noises were deer. The one picture that I am disappointed that I missed was that of a really cool looking crane standing in the water and the sun was shining just perfect on him. I tried to walk like a stealth machine to get closer – but I guess I wasn’t quite as successful as I was hoping. He turned his head and took one look at me and beat it out of there. OK, but here are some of the pictures that I did take. The first one is just of one of the small creek running through the area.
Honestly when I’m seeing even this little bit of water, I’m thinking to myself… maybe I should go kayaking tomorrow… The next is one of these millions of areas of red berries. I’m not sure if animals can eat them or not, but they sure look appetizing!
And finally here is one of an old Pioneer Cemetery. Now I’m not some creeper that loves to take pictures of cemeteries, but I found this one pretty unique. It’s back in this one field along the creek all by it’s self. Now with today being Halloween, I snapped the picture and decided to walk just a little faster when I was in this neighborhood! I didn’t want any surprises here. Happy Halloween!!
