My Backyard

One of my favorite things about where we live right now is that there are miles and miles of trails through the Austin greenbelt only steps from our front door. Since we're dog sitting for a friend, we decided to take all three dogs out on a hike. And I, being a glutton for punishment, decided to take my camera. I know, I know what you're thinking. She must be crazy. or She never learns. And you'd be right. This time it wasn't so bad. Since T came along he took our two dogs and I was only in charge of Riley and my camera.

We all had a great time. The weather was fantastic, the dogs were having a good time, and even though I'd been at work all day I was feeling pretty energetic and was enjoying the afternoon out with my little family (+ Riley). We got to Scouts favorite spot and decided to let the dogs play a bit. Riley and Scout splashed in the creek, and Janie stayed as far away from the water is possible. This particular spot is gorgeous in the summer and I noticed today that's it's just as enchanting in the winter. I passed my Riley duties over to my only other 2 legged hiking buddy and that's when I snapped.

I love it here.
