A new walk

After work this morning we headed out from the house to try a new hiking route. It was all going so well once we had left the road. High above, through speckled clouds, planes headed home from the world’s biggest air show. The “prairies” were alive with butterflies. The stream we crossed by wobbly bridge had many deer hooves imprinted in the mud. And then we came across a field of cows and reluctantly, but wisely, turned back.
