We ski this section of the trail (Kosiancic Road north) a lot in the winter and walk it often, especially in the spring and fall. It follows the river and doesn't really come close to any houses, so it's a good place to take the pooch for a walk. These photos are from 3 or 4 different walks this spring

Nice blog, Karl. You've got some great pictures. Isn't spring wonderful! What kind of camera did you get?
ReplyDeleteHey thanks Linda - yours is nice too! And yes - spring is wonderful, visually, but also its the perfume in the air that gets me the most. Having grown up here it always sends me into some kind of nostalgic swoon :)
DeleteI got a Nikon D3100 - it was a package that included the 70-300mm zoom lens that helps me get the close shots of the critters.
