A tiny little trail user.
A feral cat colony lives along the trail.  They seem to be used to dogs walking by.
The trail follows along an unattractive power cut for the most part but wow, the foliage!
Still a colorful fall flower here and there.
Lots and lots of birds all along the trail.
I think I see some winter stash being transported in those cheeks.
