Dogs and Water









Dogs and water! Dogs and ball in water! Dogs all wet! Dogs are soo.. much fun! This is the arroyo at the back of our property that only runs after a BIG rain...wet dogs for sure.

After the rains, the entrance to my running trail is flooded...so, I'm forced to re-visit an old favorite running course: the parameter hiking trail around Spring Lake that meanders in and out of Annadel State Park.



The 3 mile trail is well traveled by runners and hikers wishing to escape the crowded paved paths of the lake. I splish and splash through the mud, chilled by the cold spring wind and warmed by the peak- a- boo sun both at the same time.



It's Spring Break and schools out.. so, lots of kids and families are out for a "bit of fresh air" before the next rains come. Good to see, but Brrrrrr...
