I would rather HIKE!


 I spent the summer complaining. I knew I shouldn't but I did it anyway. It was too hot to hike. I had a heat rash that made it miserable to even be outside. Whine...whine...whine! hahaha!

But John took me for some evening drives to my favorite trailheads.


And each and every one gave me such a great feeling. And of course we saw things every time we got out in nature. I had to be good and not wear my hiking shoes so I would not be tempted to get out of the car and hike! 

The weather is changing. I'm improving. So I am excited about this next chapter of my life.

So here's a couple of trailheads and what we saw.


Halpata Tastanaki Preserve (hwy 200) trailhead

Of course I got out just to 'look' down the trail.


And I spotted this little lizard on the fence post.


He was happy to be photographed.



Another evening we drove to Shangri La trailhead and campground.


This tree was full of bluebirds darting around like flycatchers.


But they wouldn't stand still!


So I caught a couple on the fly! 


Do you ever complain? 

Do you have trouble 'standing still'? 

I DO!

Love, Diane 💜
