Travels with Tessa - Part 2

Dull and showery, but Tessa and I don't care, we go exploring through the woods regardless of the changeable weather. Plus I have the advantage of an umbrella!

Back in the far reaches of the forest path, we came across a fortune from a fortune cookie. Huh? Strange place to find a fortune. "Ability is not something to be shown off." Probably good advice.

The trilliums are still blooming, but I have to admit, they look a lot better on a sunny day.

This young tree is growing right in the middle of the remains of an old tree trunk. Mother Nature is practising her recycling.

She walked in the mud, wallowed in the mud, rolled in the mud, and I think she even ate mud......

....but she had a great time. She loves weekends with her Nana!

  6. Beautiful image and such a sweet looking dog! May I pat him?

    A rainy day walk every once in a while is great! I ventured out into a field right after a thunderstorm yesterday, I loved it.

  10. Tessa would also have needed an umbrella! I guess she got a good shower when back home.

    Never saw a tree growing in a tree trunk before! Must be exceptional!

  12. That looks so nice and relaxing. It has been a long time since I was on a good walk. Ok a few weeks ago I did take my youngest down the road from my grandmas to visit the Llams.
