A Foggy Day

I love hiking in all kinds of weather.  I don't know if it's because the worse the weather is, the fewer people that are on the trail.  This day, however, it wasn't foggy at all when I started the hike.

It was good to start seeing fungi growing.  Lately there hasn't been much to see except dog feces that owners don't clean up, discarded water bottles, candy wrappers and dropped tissues.


When I finally came out of the woods, the fog had rolled in and it looked so cool.  I love it!
When I got back to the parking lot, I took this picture.   When I had started the hike, there was a man in this field looking for coins etc.  I'm not sure if he's still there or not in this shot. Hasha!

Oh Deer!

I've been doing a lot of hiking but not much picture taking.  I haven't figured out how to use my fitbit phone app to track my hike and still be able to take pictures with my phone without interrupting the tracking.  I'll figure it out one of these days.  The last couple of days I just haven't used the phone app.  I miss getting the little map of where I hiked, but I know where I've been so I'll just live with that. Haha.

Just lately I've seen deer nearly every day I've hiked.  The pictures in this post aren't the best.  I was standing on a hillside and being the klutz that I am, I didn't hold the camera very still.  I didn't want to spook the deer, so I stood as quietly as I could.  Finn wasn't with me, so that was good.

I saw 4 deer in all that day, but only got pictures of two.  Hope you can see them.  It was pretty dark that day with rain on the way.  Luckily, I finished before the rain.


This is not the best video...a bit shaky, but so was I.  I was standing on a hillside.
I'm still bouncing between the old computer and the new.  Using the old computer for my blogging because it has a nice program for photos.  Herb will get something for the new computer, but with working full time he has very little free time except to cut the grass etc.

Labor Day With Some of My Friends

I've still been hiking pretty much, but not taking a lot of pictures.  My new go to trail is a Parcours Trail at Winton Woods Park.  It's a trail that isn't used as much as the other trails, so less people to deal with.  When there are more people, like today, the trail is pretty wide, so it's easier to pass people especially if there are dogs involved. I get a good workout with several hills.

Driving through the park is always fun, and I'm always on the lookout for wildlife.  I passed these two driving through the park.  I think this path is used by the park employees to drive their equipment through when they mow the grass along the road.



This is another deer I saw peeking through the trees.  Can you see him/her?





I have to admit this isn't one of my pictures.  My son Paul, who lives in Florida, sent me this picture this morning.  So pretty!  A Zebra Longwing.



We recently bought a new computer, because the old one is beginning to have issues.  Right now, all of our pictures are on the old computer.  We have a way of moving our old pictures onto the new one (some kind of box...don't know what it's called), which is great.  However, any more pictures that  I download are just sitting on the old computer again.  I really need the old program for pictures loaded on to the new computer.  Until that gets done, I'm going to be blogging from the old computer.
