It had rained on and off today after church. Temperatures were in the high 40s and low 50s. Skies were gray. But a short hike was just what I needed.

I put the leash on my old hiking buddy Brewster, our old gray shepherd of many years. He looks like an old wolf when he’s out in the woods. He loves these hills and creeks.

We took off for a short afternoon hike. The creeks were running strong; the deer were out.

I don’t know how folks are not moved by such things. It’s my soul food.

Hope you enjoy some pictures as much as Brewster and I enjoyed the hike and feel of the creeks rolling.
