Walkin in a Winter Watershed...

Jeremy, the puppies, and I enjoyed a wonderful winter walk yesterday at Coleman Lake, about 45 minutes from our house.


The temperature was perfect. It was in the 50s, and it felt a bit cool when we started, but it was really nice the whole way through.

The walk circumnavigated Coleman Lake and covered the watershed area, which consists of the streams that feed into the lake.


We brought the puppies on the walk, which clocked in at about 2.5 miles and took 3 hours.


Oscar pulled us along the trail the whole way, but was happy to be picked up when we had to cross through a briar patch.


Nacho tottled along the whole time, and squirmed when he had to be picked up. He had enough energy left over to run a marathon!


The pups even made a few friends along the way. This is Ollie, a 2-year-old yellow lab mix. Behind him was Dakota, an Australian sheppard, who walked with a volunteer.


We also enjoyed the view of a small waterfall.


Some of the kids from the group ran all around it, which was cute. They were a little wild, climbing all over tree limbs and stuff, but I guess having them run around the woods expended some of their energy!

Overall, it was a beautiful day, enjoyed with my wonderful little family.
