| Our hikers |
I was very lucky during our hike to have found so many new friends. We had eight women and one plucky man. The hike was led by Sandy, third from the left in this picture, taken by a passerby. It was cool when we started, but by the time we reached the lake, it was getting warm. Not terribly so, but definitely into the 70sF. We passed many other hikers on the way to (and from) the lake, and plenty of dogs, too.

I had a hard time with the strong sunlight, with bright sun and shadow, making it hard to see my footing when we returned via the same trail. With the help of Kathy, one of the hikers, who held my arm and told me what I was seeing, I was able to make it back to the cars. I skipped the loop around the lake, but everyone else went, so I got their picture as I waited.

I certainly enjoyed myself, but when I got home, drank a bunch more water, I then quaffed a cold beer. I got distracted by reading the news and forgot to post this, so here it is a day late. Life is good and I'll try to be on time next week.

Looks like a good hiking day with a bunch of good people! :)
ReplyDeleteThe sight of the water must have looked good during your hike.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried sun glasses? They may help . Looks like a good group even those the poor man is outnumbered:)
ReplyDeleteBright sunlight and deep shadows, back and forth, are hard to deal with even with my just old eyes.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good time anyway.
You're a real trooper to get out with limited vision.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is good. Enjoying time in nature with great people, sounds perfect to me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you enjoyed the day. Bright sun and glare bother me and my vision is not hampered as yours. But too much glare will bring on a migraine...
ReplyDeleteGrab a pair of those night vision wrap=around glasses and see how that helps your perspective on your sunny walks. My eye doc okayed mine for help with city night driving. Linda in Kansas
