It is grey this day. I hoped to see a sunny and warmer morn to go walk my trails. I also have walked enough to know  the creeks and rivers here are lower for springtime. I know the land needs rain. I know farm fields and orchards across much of this continent need rain.
Water is life, there is no arguing that. I intentionally walk beside waterways as my dogs must be able to quench their thirst as we exercise and  walking to the river's edge is simpler than toting a water bottle and bowl. It also allows for the wonderful sounds of the water and increases the variety of life to be seen, from insect to eagle, otter  to deer. Here are some water, cloud and weather shots from recent weeks on walks
