The morning is always different. My dog will be 13 this July and she is showing her age. Some mornings like this one, she is eager for the walk in the meadows on top of the bluffs.

I've made her a ramp for getting into the van and so she had to learn how to go up the ramp. She is a quick learner when she discovered that she'd be able to walk at her favorite spot. Once she walks though to go home she seems to have no problem jumping into the van.

She walks slowly and this time I had my camera so I took some pictures of the trees and plant life. Once again the snails are climbing up the dead plants and this time I noticed that they were even climbing up the big trees. They are the slowest moving creatures and I've never seen so many of them, as this year that you have to watch where you step because you'd hear a crunch under your foot and feel real awful.

There were other people also and even they thought it was strange and said maybe they know something we don't.

Who knows tomorrow they maybe back on the grass and leafy vegetation as a few days ago.
