Yesterday’s outing

Yesterday I decided that as a change of pace I would go for a walk, and not a ride.  I haven’t done that in what seems to be ages, except when we were out mushroom hunting.  But the mushroom hunting has a different feel for some reason, possibly because it is a long way from home.

My walk took me in a four mile loop around my neighbourhood.  One thing that struck me was the amount of moss or lichen on the trees!  Our trees are full of patches of lichens.  I can’t believe it’s due to our pure air, so I am going to have to dig a bit deeper into the whys and wherefores.

I managed to get mobbed by crows yesterday.  That’s not something that occurs when I’m on a bike.  I suppose it’s because a pedestrian is a much slower moving target. 

The walk was good.
