Down the Trail

The weather was unusually perfect tonight, as opposed to tornado-laden a week ago, so we took advantage of it and took a walk down the trail made possible by our local Rails-to-Trails group. This trail passes over a river valley, and the group recently completed a nifty little observation deck along the way, to view the river and look back at the old railroad bridge now supporting the trail.Here's a look back at the great old arched railroad bridge that now supports the trail...
Then there is the flora along the side of the trail
And a little bit of fauna...
And, coming out of the woods, here are some amber waves of grain,
or green waves of grass, whatever...

It looks as if you now have a wonderful trail. I like that old bridge. Thanks for taking us along on your hike.

You must have been on the bunny trail. ;)

Nice pictures, Ben. It's a relief to have a few days of calmer weather now.
