This week my selections come from my archives. It has been cold and rainy, and I decided not to talk my walking/hiking buddy out in this chilly weather. These photos are from a walk around the lake at Cane Creek Park in Waxhaw, Union County, North Carolina I took with my granddaughter in 2018.

Duck is the common name for numerous species of waterfowl in the family Anatidae. These ducks swim freely in the lake and sometimes come onto the shore.

Coleman, my grandson and my walking/hiking buddy hiked the Seven Oaks Preserve Trail on Tuesday afternoon. It was a warm sunny day unlike the past couple of days where it has been chilly, windy, and rainy.

Whenever I have the opportunity to go out, it is almost always with my grandson, Coleman. He loves to hike. He doesn’t tend to walk much but run along the trail. I walk/hike and try my best to keep up with him. We always see different amazing and interesting things as we hike along the various trails.
