River Walk

While I was down at our family property a few weeks ago, Piper and I took a number of lovely walks along the river.

We saw that beavers had been hard at work felling trees and building dams.


Everything was beautifully green - lacy ferns were popping up in the woods,

and unfurling along the riverbank.


Piper waded into the river to get a drink and was surprised by the current and sat down abruptly in the chilly water.


It didn't really faze her - she loves the water. She tries to go swimming almost every time she gets near the bay or river. It keeps her coat nice and shiny.

Thanks, Sheila! And, I know! I get to go on some of the nicest trails with little Piper (I did with Baloo, too, of course.) :)

BetsyLee, it's calm in some places, but it has a strong current. I remember trying to swim upstream when I was a kid and it was like having one of those perpetual lap pools that you never have to turn around in. There are also areas with rapids and other obstacles, so it's fun to canoe. :) Hugs right back.
