More walking!

I just realized it's been more than a week since I've given a leg/walking progress report.  I am excited to report that today we went to our favorite park and walked for about a hour and a half!  Bessie got along very well.  She was tired, but there were no "issues" with the long walk.  The biggest accomplishment was that we went down a hill to a part of the park we haven't been able to visit for several years!

Most of the park is fairly level, and while Hubs was pushing me in the wheelchair for the last 2 summers, we stayed up on that level area.  There is a section that goes down a fairly steep hill, and we didn't venture down there when he would have had to try to push me back up.  Today we walked down the hill, around the lower area, and back up again!!!  We got to see the 2nd frog pond, and the ruins (a manufactured "ruins" area that is quite picturesque).

It was a gorgeous day for a walk in the park.  Temp was in the 70's with low humidity.  We seldom go there in the morning, so it was fun to get to see things in a different light.  (Today we were there from 10-11:30 am.)  Here are some of our finds:

First, a frog and water lily from pond #1 that we usually go to:

Next some frogs and a water lily from the lower pond that we haven't been to for years:

Here is a particularly tiny frog - I would estimate him to be about the size of a quarter:

These roses were right by where we parked:

Ya gotta love the woodland creatures that pose:

So that was today's adventure!  Thanks for letting me share... come back again soon!
