Walkies

Rosie and I took a nice little hike at Kennedy Grove today. We went out along the reservoir, until we got to the top of the hill, where I decided we'd had enough sun and ducked us back down the hill through the trees (note to self: next time, climb up the hill through the trees). I stopped at the top to take some photos, with the digital camera and the 4x5. Taking these photos meant hauling about twenty pounds of camera gear up the hill, which did not help. Nor did the fact that Rosie had her poo right at the beginning of the hike, so I was carrying the poo bag in one hand and handling the leash in the other, packing piles of gear on my back.

Anyway, this is the digital version of the photo I also took on the Graflex:

The hike was interesting for another reason: I got to see Rosie learn something. There were all sorts of prickly things growing on the trail, and she stepped on them and discovered that sometimes, plants bite you. She was clearly confused ("but plants never bit me before!") and spent a bit of time figuring out that it was plants that looked prickly that bit her. Once she'd figured that out, she carefully walked around the prickly plants for the rest of the hike.

We also saw a dead bird. Reason #58 why the dog had to be on leash, no matter how un-fun it made things.
