I went back to the trail and got some good photos...
Fun story: I lost my red dog leash which, I was semi-attached to, no pun intended. I used to walk my dog that passed infrequently with it and while it's not as good for her small brother, "It just worked"... I guess whoever picked it up really needed a leash that day. At least I'm 99% sure someone picked it up. I caught their perp walk in the background so I know someone was at least walking that spot and it T's off to another area there so could've been someone coming from behind the trails and I'm 100% sure where it was dropped because I let child hold it (she asked) and that was dumb on my part... I opened my car trunk and noticed the pink leash that I really walked my girl in more before her anxiety got intolerable, so maybe I don't need 2 leashes to remember her... I'm just in that weird grief stage right now where every little thing reminds me of her and memories flood right back. So losing even silly things like that adds to the feeling the loss.
But yes, this little trail we often walked with her and "Little Man" (my chihuahua, LM is a nickname for him) with that red leash in particular... he was so happy to be out and I usually take his leash off so he can go "be dog..." ... it's very nice back in this spot and he stays out of trouble, so (not walking into dangerous weeds and such)...
I stepped in an Fire Ant bed trying to get the bumble bee shots so I had to walk for the rest without shoes until they vacated... that was fun, but the ground was a bit sandy from being worn and very comfortable actually... the parts without prickly plants which is common in hot areas of the country... something about heat makes the plants angrier, I wonder why.
Anyway, photos...
