Picture time

 The further adventures of Misty and her dad...

Gorgeous Monday afternoon

Hawk making the rounds

One last burst of color

The camera has a hard time picking up God's glory in nature

Our, "That's odd" moment for the week

A "ghost" in the wood

Climbing Mushroom Ridge

Uh, the view's the other way

We step ahead in time to Wednesday...

Bunny of the week

Off-roading

Pretty remote tree to be so marked

This doggie was behind us prior to off-roading, ahead after, and thankfully turned the other way eventually

Ghost part two

Misty laughing b/c my butt got wet taking these

We were right on the line here between cloudy and possible rain and nice

Thursday afternoon, I had a nooner...

Matching new hat and shirt, didn't realize I had a smear on the lens

There, now you see it

Dude having a problem starting the line-painter

Lotsa nuts, no leaves

Entering the 'fallen buckeye trip hazard zone'

Gray squirrel

Never saw brackets that high before

Leaving buckeye hazard zone, enter acorn hazard zone

Tried to get that plane lol

More off-roading

The now-dry arboreal ocean

Railroad tie en mosse...

I had to climb down this for her to play in the creek

That's new...

This rock looks like a butt

Leaving acorn hazard zone, enter hickory nut hazard zone

This nice lady discer said hi to Misty.  Misty checked her pocket for treats.

Leave acorn hazard zone, enter buckeye severe hazard zone

Lovely afternoon...

Return of the hawk

This leaf looked like a star

And Friday...

Doesn't seem so long ago we had to be out before 6 AM to beat the dawn.  Current time, 7:55.

Wooly Worm winter forecast- rough, not terrible

At 48F, I could do without this stiff a breeze...

A dozen steps later, sun's out and breeze dies as if on cue...

Trash can guys are out... must be an event weekend

Swamp is so dry, squirrels are about the only guests

Too cold for the river, thanks

Just struck me here how hard it is for a camera to paint the contrasts like God can

Taking Misty a new direction

Not exactly scenic, but she didn't care.

It's been about six years since Scrappy and I came through here.  This was going under reno then.  Doesn't look much improved.

The Parkview therapy building was an empty circular parking lot then...

This wasn't here, either

"Check out that pretty doggie... hey, wait..."

Misty was confused going through an unfamiliar woods- frankly, I was too, it has been 6 years

"Wait... this is familiar..."

"It's MY woods!  Yay!"
