The Drive Home From The Farm

Little Clover went chugging through the grass as if she was on a mission:

Fergus and Clover explored the shoreline beneath the stony cliff of a mountain:

I got the dogs back into the car and we continued on our way. But I just had to stop when I saw this filed of wild Lupines. I've read that these were garden flowers which had escaped and gone wild. I don't imagine that anyone is complaining, though:

We stopped for one last rest stop along the Ausable River:

I took a different path through the woods here, passing by some large boulders. I suppose these would be considered glacial erratics::

We all trotted back to the car, officially ending that trip up to the farm - well, all except for the final one hour and forty-five minutes of high speed highway driving. That's my least favorite part:
