Monday Walk

Today just me and MOM went for a walk in the woods.  Now where we went we have gone with Bert and my other friends.  But this time MOM and I went off the beaten path to a path less traveled.  It was great!  Lots of cool stuff to sniff and I just love running free through the trees.  But I will tell ya this might not be the smartest thing or safest thing to have done.  Part of where we traveled is known as a place where some homeless "camp".  And we did see evidence of that.  Now MOM wants to make sure I say that it's not that they are homeless that is scary (MOM works with the homeless all the time at St. Anne's Shelter).  But being so far away from anyone else is not safe in that environment .  But it was all good and we had a beautiful time together.  And besides she had me with her.  Here are some photo's to share with you.

Checking it out

Here I come MOM, look out

What's that out there?

A DUCK! Sorry for the blurry photo, MOM... well I don't even have an excuse for her


Look Bert I'm in the water without you


I KNOW!! I'm still in the water


OK this water is a bit to fast for me


Look at this great swimming hole I found


Woo Hoo


I found a stick hiding under the water

Near a "camp" there was this thing MOM called a bra hanging from a tree with other clothes on the ground.  Seems to me you'd want to be wearing those things in the cold air and snow


Crossing a fallen tree over a little stream


Frozen pond in the middle of the woods


Frozen droplets


At the end of our walk and the frozen pond in the back that people play hockey on and ice fish.  But this day MOM and I had the whole place to our self and it was fantastic.  I hope I can talk my friends into coming with me off the beaten path.
Blessings,
Goose

    That looks like so much fun! But that water seems far too cold for a swim. You are very brave!

    The frozen water droplets are also particularly pretty. Glad you didn't run into anyone looking for trouble!

    Woohoo Goose, loved seeing the path you went on and of course seeing you in the water was fun too. You be extra careful when you and your Mom go on out of the way paths o.k.-be sure to guard her well. Of course she also has angels around her. When I saw the bra, my first thought was that someone had been attacked there; glad it wasn't the case. Have a wonderful evening!
    Hugs, Noreen

    Goose, buddy, pal.....you were swimmin. you didnt' even need me to coax you in. WAY TO GO.....

    That being said. Oh My Vickie is very very upset with you. Do you two know how dangerous that area is. Oh my goodness, I know you and your mom work with the homeless and some of the nicest people me and mY Vickie have met on our walks are homeless.....but for goodness sakes. ALONE You two went alone.

    Not all the humans you come across are just homeless, some of them do not have the nicest things planned for other humans.

    I know these things

    After all I am a Sheriff, I pack a play gun....At least wait until I can go with you.

    But for now, You are in BIG trouble with the Vickster.....

    (Don't worry though, she isn't as mean as she sounds....)

      Bert,
      Thank your Vickie for her concern. I now know you guys have searched this area for people. OK, it was a little scary (half way through) but I kept a close eye on the MOM. And she is ever watchful. But next time how about you and your Vickie come with us, cuz there was some really cool places and I want to show you them. You will LOVE the two swimming holes I found. We may have to chase some ducks off them but then it will be play and swim time.
      Thanks buddy for your concern. But you know my MOM she has to have her "alone" time to hike and ponder things. I'm just glad I get to come along on that alone time.
      Blessings,
      Goose

    What a beautiful place to go exploring, but I agree, not too safe alone. But then you are a very good protector, I'm sure. I love the pictures. The pond is gorgeous. Tell you mom thank you for sharing.

    Hi Goose, that looks like a great walk even if it was so cold. Its good you looked after your mum so well. We feel sad that people are homeless and we hope they have somewhere warm to shelter. No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

    Very strange, I would think someone would want to wear a bra in the cold too. BOL! Humans are strange, though!
