Pictures

 And we have a few, due to laziness on my part- but not as many as could be, also due to laziness (AKA not making sure camera batteries were charged, so you missed out on a rabbit, a deer, and Hindufest 2025 at the Plex*)- but you do get some...

*'Hindufest was my name for a gathering of what I believe was the Hindu faith at the Plex Friday morning.  What I can tell you: There were a LOT of them and they were still coming, and those inside were chanting something; what I can't tell you: What it officially WAS called, despite several attempts to find out online.

But anyway, Lazy #1 is not posting pics from the last day of May:

Misty and I decided to check out Praise Park, run by the local UMC

Honestly, there just wasn't much to it, and my feet were soaked from the heavy dew we had.  In order to avoid disappointment, we went back to Shoaff Park, which beats Praise Park in so many ways:

First: Trails

Next: Wildlife ponds instead of "pretty ponds"

Third: The views

Fourth: the trails you would have missed, but doggie didn't

Five: foolers available along the path

As well as leg wraps...

Six: Doggie bag stations- something Misty made Praise Park regret not having

Did I mention the views?

Seven: the boat landing

Eight: We ran into a raccoon, but by the time my camera stopped playing, "Focus? what's that?", we just got his butt

Eight: Squirrel hijinks

Nine: a woods to cut through

This log was so big, I had to sit on it to cross

I don't know what this is, but it isn't reason #10

Here's #10- absolutely exhausted doggie

So like I said, I forgot to charge the batteries for Friday's walk, but I did test the camera out Friday night...

Hmm... something wrong here...

Oh, yeah... that face

Looking through the screen, there were all these neat, pulsating lines- none of which showed up on the picture

Okay, enough of that, let's do this morning's walk...

Not quite so foggy as yesterday

I see Mr Humpty-Back taught the neighbors a lesson in not leaving trash bags on your doorstep

Same little bunny we saw here yesterday

Doggie finds something...

A good size snapper!  She wasn't happy I wouldn't let her sniff

Fishing at the landing

Which means doggie has to go upriver for her dip

Which, strangely enough, was all she did

Bunny at the benches- with a bird-bomb thrown in for free

Sorry about the remnants of Laurie's beef-n-cheese dip on the shirt, there

Cottonwoods hit hard here

All the times we've been through here, I never noticed this tree bulge that looks like a big monkey is hanging onto it

Arboreal Ocean has water again

Bunny!
