Today was one of those unplanned treks that just wouldn't end! We started at Butterbridge Road and walked south. We had walked part of this trail before but the weather wasn't as nice and we hadn't gotten very far. An almost-full moon was shining above and although it wasn't chillier than it had been,, it was sunny and pleasant. We had planned to walk as far as Crystal Springs, but we didn't get started until around 5:00 and it was a 5.8 mile round trip. We walked and walked and walked. The trail passes by the backs of some beautiful houses along this stretch. We saw sosme deer but they ran away too fast for us to take their portraits. We did take photos of some muskrats and various birds along the way. We decided to turn around at about 6:20, so we wouldn't run into darkness. We hadn't come prepared for that, even though Kay has been anxious to start tracking some nocturnal critters. Speaking of nocturnal, we did hear a Great Horned Owl in the trees, but did not catch a glimpse!
Chilly, getting dark
An owl stirring in the trees
Why can't we see you?
