Before I tell you about the day trip Mama and I took through the Redwoods, I want to take a moment to remember today is Patriot Day in the US.
We will never forget those who lost their lives on 9/11
Mama and I took a nice long ride along the Avenue of the Giants a couple of weeks ago. It's always nice to get out in the forest and smell the fresh air(not to mention read all the wild pee mail)!
It really makes a pup realize how small they really are...
Everything is so very beautiful and green, and there is nothing like pondering life while sitting on an hundred year old tree stump (that's even older than even Mama!).
This is the Eel River, it's pretty low during the summer. I'll have to have Mama come back next Spring to see how high it fills up after the Winter rains!
I'm off to explore a little more! I hope you get a chance to get out and enjoy some of the nature
in your part of Blogville this weekend!
Show

We've had a mostly rainy, ugly week, but we do like the cooler temps. Hopefully we will get out some on the weekend to explore. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteyou look so handsome in your hat that you almost detract from the scenery... awesome view of the river and I love tiny you at the foot of that wall of stone
ReplyDeleteArty yes indeed we will never forget either. September 5 2001 we had just returned from a trip to Budapest...me to work at a conference, Dad of Madi a tourist. Usually we stayed over after my work obligations to tour on our own but in 2001 we had a wedding to attend on Sept 7 we we did our tour before the conference; otherwise we would have still be in Europe on Sept 11, 2001 and not been able to get home for weeks.
ReplyDeletePer your request I am smiling with you and loving all your photos from your walk
Hugs Cecilia
Thank you for taking us along your walk to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Today is indeed a sad day. I lived in NYC after I graduated college many years ago. Visited the World Trade Center many times. After I left NYC and eventually married, my husband and I would take friends there for the fantastic views and dinner. You cheered me up Arty! And, as always, you look dapper in your hat.
ReplyDeleteThat sure looked like a fun adventure Arty! We will always remember what happened on 9/11 and who did it.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, Arty.
ReplyDeleteI will never forget 9/11. Never.
Have a woof woof day and weekend. My best to your siblings and your mom. ♥
What a pretty place to explore!
ReplyDeleteEven all these years later, today is such a sad day. I will never forget where I was that tragic morning, as I imagine is true for everyone.

Talk about a nice place and nice photos
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place for a walk, Arty. You are so lucky to have that so close to your home.
ReplyDeleteCould you climb on top of the felled tree?
ReplyDeleteYou live in such a beautiful area. We hope the fires stay far from you.
ReplyDeleteYou are really lucky with all that beautiful nature so close. I am quite jealous!

Looks like a great outing! What a very cool tree stump.
