Foggy Weekend, Part 2.

Sunday Doug and Alison joined Joan, Maddy and me for a walk on the good ol' airport dike trail. It was very foggy and kinda eerie...particularly at the beginning of the trail which is being rebuilt as part of the runway safety area expansion project. The trail will be closed every day except Sunday for the next month or so as construction continues.

Not a whole lot of action on the trail. Although we did come upon a juvenile eagle, mallards and what we tentatively identified as common mergansers. And lots of fellow walkers with doggies.

A juvenile bald eagle. Perspective sure is different in the fog...

A thin coating of ice on the remains of a cow parsnip

Everyone enjoyed the fresh air and a little exercise...

Maddy seemed a little leery of this walking thing on Saturday...but seemed to be hitting her stride by Sunday...

Eric Swanson waited until later in the day to take his hounds for a walk on the new trail around the east end of Auke Lake. The fog had finally lifted...

Auke Lake - thanks for the picture, Eric!
