Good Day to be Outside ...

The sun was shining, and even though the air temp was hovering around 7C, it was a fine day to be out and about ... Taking the two dogs, a family excursion to Riding Mountain National Park was embarked upon ...

I took my bike in the van and pedalled on the trail ahead of everyone else ... they walked and whined ...

We met up two and a half hours later for lunch ...

Though there were Whiskey Jacks (or Grey Jays)

in abundance, only this lively fellow alighted on a branch

long enough to be photographed ... his kin folks were less amenable.

One last glance before I biked off into the distance ...
