I decided to go for a hike somewhere I had not yet been today. It turned out to be a lot shorter than I'd expected but was still enjoyable !

As I was making my way up I started to get some views...

Suddenly I came across this fella....quite well hidden eh !

I managed to catch him but he was a bit camera shy and wriggled like crazy, hence the poor pics...

I showed him my Dumpster Mutt and told him he'd be on Bladeforums....

I left the snake behind and continued for the top...

I was soon at the top, guess this is why it's called Lone Tree Hill...

This was my view as I drank my tea ! While I sat I watched Turkey Vultures circling and then a pair of Hummingbirds chasing each other, they are just amazing the speeds they fly at !!!

Then just as we were heading home I spotted this chap in the bushes...
