Kay Pond
Mom, Chappy, and I went for a walk . . . well, really, more of a hike . . . at the Cooper Mill County Park today, and while I took bunches of photos, the ones I wanted to show you were these.
Perfect reflections in the still water of this man-made pond. So serene.
This tree was pretty interesting, too, doing it's own "Bark Art."
Chappy really enjoyed himself, too. Unlike our favorite park, the paths were just blazed trails through the woods, not paved, not smooth bridle-paths, but trails with leaves and roots and rocks and, well, wilderness. (Well, wilderness by his standards, since he normally only ever does get to walk on streets and sidewalks.) Lots of good sniffs to explore. And, oh, he brought home one tick, too. At least, I hope it was just one! A tiny black one that I only saw because it was sitting on top of his head. I wonder how many he might have picked up if I hadn't sprayed him with flea/tick repellant before leaving the house?
We only walked about a mile or so before Mom decided to turn around, but we enjoyed it. It's a lovely day, after all, and what could be nicer than a walk in the woods?
Well, okay, Chappy enjoyed stopping at the gourmet pet shop in Chester to buy some fancy biscuits, too. Really, I don't see how his day could have been more perfect!
Gorgeous photos! They are perfect in capturing the moment. Blazed trails are awesome and definitely make you feel like you are in the wilderness.

Oooooh, that looks so pretty! I love a good walk/hike on a non-paved narrow trail.

Lovely! And good thinking, to spray Chappy beforehand.
