The other day Heather and I took her dog Lilly for a walk out at Oak Creek. We found these interesting vines with seed pods growing along the Homestead Trail. I have no clue what they could be.
Lilly really enjoyed exploring a new place.
Heather and I enjoyed getting out of our respective routines.
I believe next time Heather is going to tell me to leave the camera in the car.
A bug trap setup by some scientists from the EPA by Oak Creek. There were indeed bugs being caught by the device.
On Saturday, my parents, Heather, Matt, Joaquin, two of their friends, and I went hiking to Duffy Lake with some llamas who needed training. Ever year we run training hikes for the llamas we raise at Spring Creek Llama Ranch.
Up the trail we hike!
The three new lady packers didn’t eat a blade of grass. Chief, an old pro, spent the whole time munching down. He knows exactly what to do at lunch breaks.

There was a LOT of snow still around the lake.
One of Matt and Joaquin’s friends swam out to the middle of the lake.
Matt looking awesome.

She made it to the middle!

I believe this is where Heather said I should stop taking pictures of her.
The Akubra hat strikes again! Zach would be proud.
Back down the trail.

Heather and I went out hiking tonight in Peavy Arboretum. We did about six or so miles over the course of our two hour jaunt through the research forests. It was a wonderful evening for some relaxation in the woods.
Heather found a couple forest snails on the trail.
Hello friend!
