Matteson Trail, Hampton, VA

This afternoon we decided to take a walk close to home and went on the Matteson Trail. It's a 3 mile long paved walk around the Hamptons Golf Course.

Sammy sticks his head out of the car window on the way to the golf course.

It was a windy, spring day. Everything was so green. And plants were all in bloom! Dogwoods.

Although everything along the trail was very pretty--Sammy's behavior made the walk not so pleasant for me. He was in a "sniff and mark" mode. We would walk a few steps; and then he'd have to stop and mark. A few more steps, stop and mark. I thought we'd never get through the three miles! Sammy and some fleabane.

All along this trail, the trees have holes in the trunks. I'm always expecting to come across a gnome or fairy family living inside of one! Or maybe a squirrel!

Some plum blossoms. So many pretty colors on this walk. Yellows, purples, pinks!

The azaleas were especially beautiful in full bloom.

Wish you were here,
