Too nice to be inside...............

I do apologize for not being around much but this weather is so short-lived and I really have waited all summer for it.  The girls and I took a nice long hike yesterday afternoon.  I tried to blog last night but the pictures were taking so long I finally gave up and went to bed! LOL!

This is the color of the dirt/soil in this part of Arkansas..........rocky and red.........

it was a perfect day for a hike.  We've had several freezes and that morning it was 30 C when I got up but it was 57 when I took this walk.

these would be pretty for some Thanksgiving decor.........I'll have to come back with my pruning shears.........

"there's a fungus among us".................

I also found some wild plums (I think....Connie could you verify?).  Unfortunately, I found them AFTER the freeze but now I know where they are for next year if I'm still here.

Those are my "scouts" out ahead of me..............

Nice view from up here........

it was such a great day and the beauty was awe inspiring everywhere you turned..............

I know this picture is blurred but I was trying to capture a bird flying above and the sun caught it's wing and literally turned it gold............I had to share, blurred or not..........

they were flying high and so was I............

back to civilization.................

I'll be by today to catch up on your week!  See you later!
Happy Trails!
