The morning after a good rain is always a great time to hike...
... a little muddy yes, but what gets left in that mud is just delightful...
... so many creatures use the same trails we do (or rather we use the same trails they do), and after a rain you can see exactly whose footsteps you are walking in...
... deer, raccoons, and maybe some kind of cat seem to have traversed my path along with another beauty that left a treasure for me to find...
...thank you blue jay!
