Walking on a Carpet of Red – on the Cedar River Trail
I felt like I was walking on a bed of roses yesterday on the Cedar River Trail, but they were fallen leaves and just as beautiful.

Synchronized Flying on the Cedar River Trail
Last week I took a walk along the Cedar River and shared the trail with ducklings. The trail follows the river on one side, and the Boeing Plant on the other, (the plant to me, looking like the Twilight Zone.)
