David Canyon Ride


I hadn't been to David Canyon since 2017 because the Forest Service keeps doing tree thinning and prescribed burning there and I try to avoid all that.
But I wanted to ride in David Canyon this year before my hip replacement surgery (more on that in a later post).
So I invited a riding companion to join me. It was a beautiful day!



There's this one peach colored boulder down in the canyon that always causes Apache to stop and give it a wary eye. But most of the boulders don't concern her at all.



Because I have a photographer's eye, I am always seeing great places with interesting backdrops, to place a subject. My riding companion was happy to oblige so I could get my shot.



And a Trail Selfie!


Apache and I led for most of the ride. Every so often, I turn around with camera in hand.


Apache loves to lead.


And I love to lead because it feels like we are riding by ourselves with only beautiful nature in front of us.



This makes me very happy.


The scrub oaks hadn't leafed out in their brilliant green splendor. But it was still beautiful.


Because Apache and I are always taking our time and I am always aware of my surroundings, I noticed Kung Fu Panda perched on a branch beside the trail.
I'm always amused and entertained by anything we see while on the trail.

Life is Good!
