The Fort Jackson Town Park - Part 2

The dogs and I were walking in the forest and exploring the shoreline of the St. Regis River in the Fort Jackson town park (see Part 1, yesterday):

The trail was peaceful and cool in the shade. It was quite hot out in the sun:

Clover and Daphne were not playing or kissing here, they were both grazing on grass like little Holsteins:
