Bike Trails

public.jpeg

We hike this trail frequently. Lately I have been biking it with my son.

This photo was taken just about ½ way between Piqua and Troy. The trail curves back and forth, and it is so beautiful. You don’t see too many birds during the Summer due to the heavy follage, but its not uncommon to see a deer or two.

This weekend on a bike ride south of Troy, we saw three or four deer on the trial at about 7:00A. They didn’t waste any time running off to a safe place.

In the future I am. going to start wearing my GoPro so I can. capture some of this footage.

Old Fallen Tree That Refused to Give Up

Check out this dead tree. Wait, look closely at what has happened. There are new sprouts, and one has gown into a larger tree.

I guess the old tree refused to give up. I’m sure there is a lesson in there for each of us. The fact is, age does not matter. You can always try something new. Never give up my friends.

Regardless, it is very cool.

Holy Chipmunks, Batman

public.jpeg

I have made many attempts to capture a photo of a chipmunk for a long time. They never stay in one place long enough for a photo. I was shocked when this little guy ignored me ... I guess it was the love of food. There was several of them, and they were in the bird feeders having a feast.

The video below covers some of what we saw on our hike at Glen Helen Nature Preserve. Enjoy!

We just about stepped on this little guy. I think this is the first photo I have shared of a snake.

A Swim, Breakfast and a Tan

Teresa capture this turtle out for a morning swim. On the other side of the Miami River, we saw these three turtles looking for breakfast and some sun.
