While out on my walk I caught this family out on the Androscoggin for their  morning swim.

Walking begins 4:00AM

I took the dogs Jake,Jazzy and Holly for a crisp early morning walk. They are Pomeranians, a comfort to be around and look forward to their walks as much as I do. Today I also walked along the rail trail next to the frozen Kennebec River. The cracking sounds of the ice would definitely get my attention. Next it was time to walk to Maine State Library and drop of Tracey Kidder book Strengths That Remain and get his book Among Schoolchildren. Such was a day in February in Maine.

The rock is called Whale Rock I believe because it resembles a whale.

There are several benches to stop for a break. I didn't see many birds except for a flock of what I think were swallows. They flew in unison with each other between trees.

We walked a bird sanctuary called Thorncrag stopping at a fireplace for photo. The land belonged to the Thorne family in the early 1800's. While walking I wondered about what this land has seen over the years.

I noticed the glow of the moonlight while walking the dog. There's something different and good about walking outside on a winter's night.

Beautiful Day

Today was beautiful. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the sun was as bright as ever. The breeze was refreshing like a splash of cool water against my face. Something else that made the walk fun was the waves I got from people I have never met as they drove by in their vehicles. It was if they thought that going for a walk on a day like today was a good idea too. I've thought it might be a good idea to get some people to go on some different walks together.

Trees

While walking my thoughts were on the trees along the trail. I actually know little about species and other aspects of trees.
What I see is they seem to be growing in their own directions. Yet, but as I look down the path I see a community of trees and have thoughts of how they weathered over the years. Some have healthy barks, some have aged and some may have disease. Soon they will be budding and growing leaves and displaying their individual strengths and spirits.
