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

 |
| 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' |

 |
| More off-roading |

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!" |
