It is a glorious day here on Blythe Island, so I went for a little hike on the nature trails today. I have taken pics of this area before, but not in full Summer greenery. Lots of folks were out at the park, boating, swimming and fishing. The picnic area was full, too, but I did find one little table for myself. And then down the trail I went.

I carried my new Scrapper 5 today. It fit a Condor sheath I have. This will have to do until my Rainwalker kydex is done.

This was a nice place to take a break, with a good breeze blowing in off the water. I carried my ZT folder, too.

When I got to the camping area, it looked different. The shade was gone and grasses were growing around the fire ring. A storm had blown down a large live oak tree and removed some of the canopy.

I continued on down the trail, clearing many large spider webs with my walking stick.

I was glad to get out of the jungle and back to the shore where the mosquitos were not so bad and I had a breeze.

It was a good day to walk. It wasn't too hot, about 88F. It's a good day to be out and about. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
