You know it's going to be a good hike when a tractor drives past. Mesmerized Yeah, we're both happy to be out here. Graeme found a dandelion. This road leads to adventure... I like the colour of the grain. Venturing down an abandoned road. You can see how close we are to civilization. He was a real trooper today. My feet got really wet in this brush, but he didn't complain: he's wearing his Yellow Boots(tm). At the end of the abandoned road we find an abandoned house. Obligatory closeup-of-a-flower shot. The ungarded photos are behind us, I'm afraid. He now poses for the camera, or shys away. A culvert! Venturing down a second road, we find... corn! It's a bit sunny here, time for Graeme's hat! Awesome Father and Son silhouette. Isn't it too early for the trees to change colour? Step 1: Look at the pond. Step 2: Make sure Dad is aware of the pond. Step 3: Aquire a throwing stick. Step 4: Disturb the tranquility of the pond by doing what little boys do best. In the tree, a good distance above the water, was a fishing floater. Crossing the field, Graeme discovers some kernels that were stripped from their cob, but didn't get collected by the harvester. We've got to pick-up some of these. Look Daddy! We'll collect some more for the cows. (I explained that's what the this corn was used for.) What makes this especially cute is the fact that this is within a few feet of where Daddy watered the ground on our way past, ten minutes ago. We hiked through the field on the way back.
