Sunday's hike near Lake Bailey

On Sunday afternoon, we hiked the trail at the Lake Bailey Audubon bird sanctuary.   

We hiked here earlier this summer and the found
so it so overgrown, we could barely follow the trail.

We cross a cedar swamp and at the base of the slope, we stop at this spring.

Ya, we do love to have a nice, cool drink.

Now head up again and see flagging tape of all colors today.

Here the trail splits.

Oh dear, it's still not been fully cleared.

This is the trail.

Trail mutts don't need no brushed trail!

Hunting was good, we smelled and saw lotsa little critters.

Maybe they could use some help?

Could all these trees have recently fallen?

Maybe it's time to head home...

As we head down the slope, we stop for a view of the lake.
It was a nice day for a romp in the woods...but when is it not?
