10/13/12 Walden and City Forest

Very late start because I gave neighbors a ride to the airport. Cool but sunny today with more rain on the way for next three days so we wanted to get in a descent walk. We started from the parking area for Walden and I let Kelley choose most of the trials. At one point her friend Sophie came bounding down  the trail to meet us ( her owner not in sight) and after an excited greeting Kelley followed Sophie back up the trail and out of sight. They often take off to meet without us, so I knew that soon they would appear with Sophie's owner and they did and we all walked together for a bit. We met other people and dogs and , because of all the recent rain, there was water everywhere. Kelley seemed very happy to be out in the woods and appeared to not be experiencing any discomfort. We walked for 2  1/2 hours .

There was also lots of sniffing to be done and Kelley sometimes had to catch up











Though there are still trees with leaves the marshy area off the old rail bed looks very wintery

  6. Thanks dpimperl- these were taken with a Pentax K10D- the close ups with the 100mm macro and the others with the kit lens. I also sometimes use an older Olympus C5050
