And "my" walk is nowhere near as steep as going up any of "your" mountains!<br />He he your wondering about the wintertime look of the pictures made me giggle - it is the kind of thing that happens to me, too :-)Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-9823627092166015772014-08-12T02:50:56.228+02:002014-08-12T02:50:56.228+02:00I clicked on the link you gave us and also saw thi...I clicked on the link you gave us and also saw this same walk in much different weather! Only thing, I forgot that I was looking at a different post and kept thinking how strange that it looked like wintertime! HA! I am such a silly one. <br />It was interesting to compare this walk to a different season. I feel as if I could walk it with you now. Only thing, I wonder if I could walk that far. I'm not sure, I might be forced to crawl the last few miles of it! <br />Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-13330634545551187192014-08-11T18:55:37.435+02:002014-08-11T18:55:37.435+02:00The hen was miles away from where I took the photo...The hen was miles away from where I took the photo!

I went on a walk yesterday too. It was only about 10 km but there were a couple of very steep hills. I was surprised at how tired it made me. But it was well worth doing, and I am so glad we had nice weather, such a contrast with today which is pouring with rain!
