Part 3 - Beaver Bridge Trail

I crossed the final bridge and found that doing so put us right back on the dirt lane on which we'd begun and which followed the trail for some time. It was pleasant, easy walking and I relished the opportunity to walk without having to watch my step:

As for the dogs, everything makes them happy. So they continued to run, play and sniff:

Madeline seem especially happy - or perhaps her perpetual smile just makes her look that way:

With most of the leaves not yet fully opened, I had wonderful views in every direction and I strolled slowly, enjoying it all:

I told Fergus and Seamus to "Stay" so I could snap their picture. My "poodley" boys:

And soon enough I could see the pond up ahead near where I'd parked the car:

When we arrived at the car, though, we had to rush down to the pond and enjoy it:

Seamus sniffed while Clover raced full speed along the shoreline (notice her "airplane ears"):

It was a warm, wonderful day even though there were a few spots of snow remaining. Yes, that's right - snow. See those white blobs on the far bank? Those were snow:

Seamus waded in just a bit and all the dogs took a drink of water. As for me, I'd have to stop at a store for something to drink:

Even Fergus went in:

But the day was young and there was still more exploring to do. Tune in tomorrow to see where we went next:
