Happy Trails

Not sure what the problem is today, but I've been trying to upload these photos literally all day...I finally gave up on a couple I wanted to load. I'll try again tomorrow with a different post.

The photos below are some of the trails at Sage Creek Ranch. The trails go around the edges of all the property. We walk them every few days and that's all it takes to keep them looking like trails. I never realized how little it takes to kill what's growing - just a few steps on it every couple of days and nothing will grow there.

The trail below is one of my favorites. It's on the back of the 26, right on the fence line for the Corps of Army Engineer's property and the lake. You can't tell from the photo, but it's an uphill walk. It was one of the first areas we walked on when we explored the property - and my instant affinity for it was one of the "signs" I got that we should buy this property.

The photo below is the front gate for our property and the neighbors. This shot was taken from inside the property looking out to the highway. We share the driveway with the neighbors. From our house to the gate is .5 miles.

These bushes are constantly changing - in any given day, different areas of the same bush will be in different stages of growth or decline.
