wind cave hike

One of my goals for our week of Sukkot was to get some good hiking in. The campground, Usery Park was a new one for us, thus untromped trails. Somehow the week flew buy with a couple of rainstorms and a couple of storm-induced headaches so that it was getting down to the wire before I got my hiking boots tied.  The last day of camp we set out on Wind Cave trail and what my week lacked in quantity of hike was made up for in quality. Not the cave, mind you, as that was a bit of a shallow disappointment, but the view...priceless, and the company delightful.

The climb.

The cave.

The view

The end.

 Now that the thermometer isn't sporting triple digits it's time to for Lily and I to resume our Silly hiking. Today was day three this week. I brought the iphone along for some picture fun along the way.

I wanted to try to get a picture of the two of us with the silly sign. Lily was acting silly by pretending I was choking her!

Then back home I had some fun playing with the free PicMonkey photo editing program.

 Lily, Jay's phone, and I went for a walk after the rain as the sun was going down.

 I wanted to get my pic with the pretty sky....but the camera wanted to focus on me. When I tried to put some more color back in the sky this is what happened. Kinda cool.

Another weekend at the date farm...

 That's one happy dog!

And one temperamental Snorkie.
