A Walk Around The Block

Although the day was a little on the warm side, I have been very anxious about checking out the neighborhood trail. There is just something alluring about an unexplored trail. You never know what pot of gold you may find along the way.

Toby didn't have to go into work until later in the afternoon. It was the perfect opportunity to check out the trail with our "bodyguard" along.

We had about 1/2 mile or more of walking through this...




Along the way there was a nice little surprise of a nice little fishing pond...



Once you got past the pond it started to get really boggy and wet. I debated on making the trek but got outvoted. On such a warm day, I was seeing visions of moccasins and rattlers.



I was glad I agreed to move on. We could hear water running nearby so we went in search..



We have been trying to find a small nearby swimming hole since we have been living here. Somehow this swimming hole looks a bit uninviting. I'm not real crazy about water that's not transparent...




This creek reminds me alot of the creek that used to run behind our house when I was a kid....



Look at the thorns on this Mesquite tree. There are tons of these trees in the greenbelt. Flip flops are not safe for these woods...



A beautiful evening sky...



We ended up walking a couple of miles. I don't know if it was the heat or we walked more than I thought, but I was wore out when we got home. Summer doesn't miss a beat. The minute we got home she went to jump on the trampoline...crazy girl.
