Spring is coming. The weather was cold past few days, but it is gradually warming up. This was a cold winter for being the South. I am still amused by the snow we had for a day. There is a little pond in the park sometimes I walk with Twyla. The pons side is not busy and she can run and go crazy without leash. The pond doesn't look very clean but she jumps and swims anyway. I have newer pictures but they are boring typical brown color, so I put this older image with snow on the bank. iPhone does a good job of stacking HDR images but I still like the pure camera work. Newer cameras do HDR with a press of a button!    

I went backpacking again. I have been traveling but they were just light road trips, just to get away. The last time I went for a hiking was in January 2022 ( Link ). What happened and why I suddenly caved in, is a long story. It was nice to have a backpack on my shoulders again and for a few hours don't think about everyday concerns we all have. What is a life worth, if we don't live it? What is life anyway, opportunity, liability, ... ? Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center offers a web of trails. The Multi-Use Trail is shared with horses, it is wider and easier and over used. The side foot-only trails were nice and narrow and more beautiful. Although at this time of year there is not much vegetation. Weather on the other hand was fantastic. Warm and dry, with a nice breeze.
