Zig-Zag... and back track!

This weekend my husband and I made a return trip to David's Trail.
This time we took a different path -
one that went zig-zagging up and down the hills surrounding the lake.
 

This time we took our granddaughter with us.

As we walked along we enjoyed
the remaining wonderful splashes of color.

 

 

 

Then it happened!
There it was right in the middle of the trail -
some "scat",
more commonly known as bear poop.
The persimmon seeds gave away the animal's identity.
Gary said it looked like "cub size" scat.
Poking it with a stick, we found it was still VERY soft,
which meant the cub might not be far away.

 

 

Living up to his reputation as a protector of his family,
my husband quickly urged us to quit following the zig-zag trail,
and make a U-turn back to our vehicle ---
just in case the cub AND ITS MOTHER were still nearby.

 

As I was discussing what happened with our youngest daughter,

she said the way her daddy always tried to protect us from danger

reminded her of Jesus, our Good Shepherd, and our Guide.

In case you're wondering,

no - I haven't got my camera fixed yet.

I had to resort to my little "click and shoot" Nikon.
