HIKE

Went on a hike this morning.
Nobody was around.

Giant red ants (well, giant is subjective when you are referring to ants...
don't you think?)

Large and deep snake hole - this freaked me out

Pretty thistles - made me think of Scotland
so I found some
Scottish music on my ipod
and jammed up the hills
while looking at thistles
and hearing bagpipes...
gotta love it!

Lots of thistles

Yes,
I did climb up this.
Boy, was I out of breath...
gota..
get..
in..
better..
shape!

A cute bench at the top of the hill
No, I didn't take a break and sit on it
but I did think it was
very thoughtful
of someone to put it there.

I wonder if they

are still
in love??
I do hope so!

Pretty!

I was suprised
when I found this old water trough for cows.
This used to be a large ranch area.
We still have the trails
but also
lots and lots of houses.

Check out this mile marker I saw.
Made me wonder....
62.2 miles to WHERE??

Found another one.
Almost missed it since it was partially hidden by the
yellow flowers.

I began to suspect that I was actually on private property...
I think I missed the sign...
Couldn't help it.
Was distracted by shinny yellow signs. Ha, ha!
I saw another one further along the trail but freaked myself out
thinking I was no longer on the public trail.

I walked for an hour and a half.
The weather was perfect.
