A Nice Walk ( with photos )

[PeppermintPatty]

Thanks PP! On my new walks in the afternoon, I am taking pictures, and then Adding an Animal or two of different kinds by using AI. look forward to some really cool pics that aren't real.

Those are a mama mink with her babies.

Cool! I ‘like’ and welcome the AI pictures. It adds much interest to the thread, especially right now. Most of my pictures lately are just plain white snow. Lol

It snowed here again so we walked on a trail we knew would be groomed. We walked on the new ATV trail. While walking we had 3 ATV’s and 4 snowmobiles go by.

My tendon attached to my heel was really hurting me today but we still walked 5 kilometres. I figure if I don’t exercise it will seize up. Maybe I should check with chat GPT.

Anyway here are some photos.

Your forest type looks very familiar. I'm sure there's some overlap in tree species.

Most of the trees are pine and spruce with a few birch and poplar in between. The odd maple or cherry tree if you are really looking for them.

We have a small proportion of pines (mostly White Pine and Ponderosa Pine) in our local forests, quite a bit of spruce. And Douglas Fir, Larch (a cousin to Tamarack). Some Paper Birch, Douglas Maple, Aspen, very occasional Yew And in wetter areas Cottonwood poplar.

Cool. Someone who knows their trees. I like that.

Here is where the running bamboo has to stop. At the deep creek bed. We are clearing the bamboo about 4 ft from the bank. Its a lot of work, but afterwards I look forward to landing that nice trout and. Cooling off in our bone dry creek.
