Cajun, the old man
All gather around the karst opening
Beautiful wild flowers, beautiful day
Pals forever!
Jim and Aaron follow the trail & the dogsTrail walk at Eramosa Karst in Hamilton, Ontario
This is a pretty trail that just opened up in the fall of 2008 and we've made good use of it since my son, Aaron, discovered it. It's a pretty level walk through a wooded area and then across a nice meadow which changes entirely with each season. Right now, there are lovely wildflowers blooming all over, reminding me of the meadows and hills that Monet used for inspiration for planting his own gardens in France. Pretty colors in perfect combinations created by nature. Blues and yellows, blues and whites with pink clover, blue with the deep almost fuscia pink of tiny wildflowers... very pretty.
The puppies weren't looking at the flowers as I was, but were enjoying a bit of freedom as we can let them run free on trails like these. We've just started to feel comfortable enough with their recall that we are allowing them a bit of freedom on our walks, depending where we are. This trail was the first one that we let them free, so it's a joy for them and also for us. They run a few feet ahead, but turn and come back on their own or when we call. It's quite nice that they are getting older and more responsible!
