9/17/18 Along the Kenduskeag

Warm weather continues. Decided to try for two in a row, this time along the Kenduskeag. Again, Kelley decided to joiin in

The stream was quite low with lots of vegetation growing in it

My first fall leaf

There were a surprising number of wildflowers still blooming.

Back in the water

Watching again. She does not go in the water

9/16/18 Beaver Pond at City Forest

We are dog sitting this weekend with Cooper . I think her getting out of the car encouraged Kelley to do likewise. It was a slow walk to the pond with two dogs sniffing.


Just a hint of the colors to come.

Still  some wildflowers - lots of chicory

Into the pond

Cooper does not get in the water

More wildflowers

Cooper is waiting on Kelley

There was a nice dog that had lost one of it's front legs but moved as though it had not. Kelley declined to play with this frisky dog.

Heading back the car.

Once again Kelley did not want to hike beyond the pond but we had a nice walk anyway.

9/3/18 Along the Kenduskeag

Hot weather is back and thought maybe Kelley would get out of the car  for the stream, and she did.

Wildflowers on the way

The stream was very low

but enough water for Kelley

She even consented to a short walk along the stream where I found some more wildflowers

More of those first wildflowres but with a tiny insect

Some spots she really stirred up the muddy bottom

 A tangle

Back at the start she stayed in for quite awhile

A pleasant little outing
