If you walk a minute or two from our house there is a ravine. There is a pathway that goes through this ravine. Judy and I have been walking this pathway in the mornings. Its a beautiful walk. For much of it, the sounds of the city disappear and you can't even see houses. Its like you've left the city. Sometimes we talk as we walk - other times we just walk. Its so nice to be able to get out and enjoy nature and appreciate the wonderful world our Heavenly Father has created for us.
The pictures were taken with a phone so they aren't that great but hopfully you get the idea.
We will often see wildlife along the trail. These following pictures where taken on 3 different days.
We've also seen coyotes, foxes, eagles, owls, hawks, other colorful birds we didn't recognize. (That's in addition to the wildlife that is aways around like rabbits, magpies, crows etc)
A few years back Jamie and I were in the ravine and saw 5 or 6 deer facing off against 4 coyotes. It was like a game of chess. The coyotes would position themselves then the deer would position themselves. It went on for about 1/2 an hour until both parties lost interest and when their separate ways. It was like watching a National Geographic special live.
I love these walks.
