Stasia balancing, LH

It isn't that I'm antisocial, but most of my treks are, by near necessity, done alone. I'd be happy to walk with someone, but my schedule is kind of crazy, so I can rarely schedule hiking time: that's a gap, the weather is decent, I grab my camera, and go. But this week, thank God, I have company. My granddaughter Stasia is spending the first part of her school vacation with us, so I have a built-in accomplice... and someone who loves to hike with me. Today, we were off to a mutually favorite spot: Lantern Hill. And because it was hot, my trekking shadow opted for a cool dress. However unconventional her attire, she didn't slow down in the least and began the trek with a balancing act on a favorite log. We didn't need to add any more leg bandages after we'd reached the top and made it back to the car.
