Yesterday we headed to a small campground/park where you can climb up on top of a small cliff of rocks. Jim wanted to really check out the stairs that were there as he wants to make some stairs going off our back deck.
And since we were there we decided to hike up on the top of the cliff. From a distance and looking through the trees I thought that this was a wild turkey sitting there. Well it looked like one from way back :)
The smell of the pine needles on the ground was heavenly.
Then Jim started thinking about going out on the ledge...
and he did.
I love to hike, but I wasn't that adventuresome to go out on that ledge. Especially since I didn't have on my hiking shoes or my walking stick.
Love the stairs and the overlook, reminds me of some in TN.

Maybe that'll be your Thanksgiving turkey! :)

Was that a wild turkey?

Oh, take me away to this place with the lovely smells of pine and forest trees as I stroll in the cool Autumn air.. thanks Judy I needed a break from our heat.
Always better to be safe than sorry, wise girl!
hugs,
Pam

I can definitely see a turkey under that chipmunk! And that cliff is a little creepy -- I'm sure glad he didn't fall off. ;-) Looks like a beautiful walk.

That sure is a beautiful place, Judy. And at first glance at the photo, I wondered was it a turkey. Was glad you had wondered the same thing. Then I had to look and look to see that that was a little chipmunk on it.

Ya... being out on a ledge is a tad too creepy for me.

Jim, you would have given me a heart attack. That is the one thing that I don't look forward too when we go hiking. Glenn and the girls always behaving like little mountain goats. :)

Beautiful area....I might have skipped going out on the ledge too.

What a lovely walk!

It looks like rough terrain, a good idea to wear good boots and use a stick.

Looks like a great hike. I love the red stairs. The barn in your next post is great. I like the shape of the roof.
