A nice day for a walk.

The 3 of us took a walk on Monday. We followed some trails we hadn't been on yet.

One of the coolest things we saw was this huge old maple tree. Bug was fascinated by the big hole at the base and was excited to find out that if she stuck her head inside and looked up, she could see daylight....that's when we walked around to the other side of it and saw the huge hole on the other side.

This is inside the tree, looking down from outside.

Here was Bug's view when she stuck her head inside and looked up. Pretty cool!

What has Bug's dad so interested?


FLAMES!

AND MORE FLAMES! The guitar-builder in him really REALLY wanted to take this home.

After seeing a spot on the tree where a woodpecker had been, Bug needed to draw.

The water in just this one spot was orange....beautiful, but weird.

Bug saw this frog on the trail in front of us. We stopped a couple of roller-bladers so that I could get a pic.

It then hopped off the path and showed us how well its camoflauge worked. I couldn't see it on the camera screen.

This turtle wasn't too close, but Bug really wanted a picture of it.

Near the end of the hike, Bug still had enough energy to do quite a bit of skipping. I'm glad that I was able to capture this.
