Four trips to Connecticut and 37.7 miles of hiking to complete the Ives Trail and earn the patch. The trail is named after the Pulitzer Prize winning composer Charles Ives, a Danbury native, who was inspired by this natural area. #50StateJourney #Week7Connecticut

Two bald eagles that circled above me intermittently over the course of a 9-mile hike but were always obscured by tree branches until I finally got them in an opening but they were too high up for a good shot. #TwosDay #birds

Brodie was told he is never coming to Sandy Hook again. He thought it was an all-you-can-eat seafood smorgasbord, snarfing something down every time I had my back turned. Sigh. #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogsrule #hiking

I was so excited to see my first bobolink in May 2023 in New York. Then I must have seen two dozen more that day. Haven't seen any since. #birds

Coventry Pond and Van Campens Glen in the Delaware Water Gap in NJ. With winter road closures you have to hike in so where this place is packed in the summer, we only encountered one other hiker today. #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogsrule #hiking

At the end of every year I make a slideshow with one picture from every hike of the year. I love seeing how the seasons change in these pictures. youtu.be/WnmjfcR68-8?... #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogsrule #hiking #outdoors #nature

We hiked the 8-mile Wildlife Drive at Edwin B. Forsythe Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey. Amazing how much more you see on foot than in a car. #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogsrule #hiking #wildlife #birds

From Brodie's weekend hike. When he has his blue coat on it means it was in the 20's when we started. Brrrr. #dogsofbluesky #rescuedogsrule

While hiking I today I came across an old cemetery where two Revolutionary War soldiers are buried. Bet they are rolling over in their graves over what is happening to the country they fought for.
