Is It Or Isn't It?

Goodness... it's been awhile - again - bad habit - not posting - oh well - I do what I can. So last weekend I went to a picnic at O'Neill Park - a really nice regional park in the area that is popular with hikers, campers and those just wanting to have a nice picnic out. It was with my fellowship group from church and we had a great time - we did have a question about one of the plants though.... is it - or isn't it... poison oak? Didn't want to touch it so I took a picture - I think we decided that it really was poison oak. So at lunch when we were eating at the picnic benches - we noticed all of the squirrels around the field we were in - they were all over the place! At one point we were a bit worried about an attack of the squirrels. So after lunch and some fellowship we decided to play 'Bowling for Squirrels' - aka Bocce Ball. They pretty much got out of the way when we started throwing the balls around - except this one - and of course being the evil one that I am - couldn't resist trying to roll the ball as close to him as possible - which I did - within a couple of inches - he decided to leave after that!

After the picnic was over - a group of us decided to take a walk around part of the park and see where the campground was - and I found this one campsite rather amusing - it had this beautiful new trailer with several slide outs - and next to it was this little hibachi. We also saw horses in the equestrian camping area and then got in the car and drove around the park - there are a lot of picnic areas and hiking trails - I took a couple of pictures that I just couldn't resist - including one of my very favorite subjects - check them out here. All in all - it was a lovely and relaxing day and has inspired me to check out the regional park just down the street from me - may become part of my walking and running routine - will post an update on how that goes - hopefully in a more timely manner!
