Yesterday was a beautiful morning so Mom & I went for a hike on the Teneroc Lost Lake Trail. It was brrry out so Mom bundled up till she looked like the Michelin Man and I put on my sweater and off we went.
These Sandhill Cranes were having breakfast near the trailhead.
C’mon Mom!
We had rain this week so there were lots of nommy grass shoots fur me…a dawg’s gotta have his veggies…
Guess which trail I took…and guess which one Mom the Slacker took…
Wheeeeeee!
This is Lost Lake….
Wait a minute…what’s that down in the water?
OMD It’s an otter! This is so kewl…
Time to get back on the trail…
I stopped for a quick drink down by the cypress swamp…
Ya’all know how much Mom likes putting me in trees…
Gizmo Out!

What a beautiful hiking trail!! I’m guessing that was Spanish Moss and not icicles in the third and fourth pictures? 😉 It sure looks like great fun!
Teneroc is wonderful and only a few miles from home so we visit there often…And yes, that is Spanish Moss draping those oaks 🙂
You two have the best adventures together! Great storytelling through photos 🙂
Thank you! Gizmo is a great hiking buddy and his joy keeps me motivated
You find the coolest places to visit. I almost feel like an adventurer myself every time I come by your blog.
Thank you so much I enjoy sharing the beauty we find, especially when it’s so close to home
That was a nice trip, Gizmo…and there is a guide post to my crib too – come and visit me ;o)
I would love to come visit you Easy…I’ll work on Mom! *happynewyearsnoogles*

And Happy New Year!

Youze welcome any times pal…You’d be lots of fun to hike with I’m sure…Happy, healthy, loving and fun-filled New Year to you and your family!
Oh Gizmo, I was hoping you would get out for a hike this weekend!!! I did NOT know we had otters up there in N FL. Now I feel like I am missing out. All we have are alligators in the lakes and waterways. Grrrr.
Happy New Year, my pal!
Hiya Oz…yes the fresh water rivers are home to wonderful otters but they stay pretty hidden are aren’t that easy to spot so mom was really excited about this one. Happy Terrier New Year to you and yours pal!
Oh Gizmo, what a beautiful and exciting hike you took! Way cool! Happy New Year, Pup. Hope 2013 is full of more adventures for you and your mom!
Thank you Loy! It was perfect weather for hiking and we did have a great morning. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Hey Gizmo
Thanks for stopping by. I have just signed up so should get your posts from now on.
We wish you a really Happy New Year. Make it a good one.
Best wishes Molly
That’s super Molly…Hope I keep you entertained 🙂 Happy happy New Year to you and yours!
wow…look at those great photos!!
the view is amazing and you are looking so dazzling Gizmo 🙂
happy new year Giz 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂 Happy wonderful New Year to my favorite turtle pals & their mom!
Mom is worried, she says it looks like a spot for alligators to hang out! If there was no danger then it looks like a cool walking spot! Happy Howling New Year!
There are gators in the lake Emma, but Mom & I stayed high on the ridge far away from them so we were very safe 🙂 Happy happy New Year Emma!
That looked like a fun hike! Did your mom get you down from the tree?
Millie
BOL! Yes, she does let me come down after she finished with the pikhsure taking stuff…Iz wish she’d do it quicker 😉 Happy New Year!
I bet you were one tired pup after that awesome adventure. Look forward to more exciting times in 2013. Happy New Year Gizmo!!
I was a pooped pup fur sure! but then Mom & I went to a BBQ at my frienddawgs’ house & I woke right up! Happy New Year!
Glad you had a good hike. I love your tree pose 🙂
It was a great hike by our standards, but yours sure puts us to shame in the challenging department 🙂 Mom does love having me in trees…silly hoomins! Happy New Year!
I love all of your nature pictures! I expect to see a dinosaur to pop their head out somewhere lol. It reminds me of a prehistoric scene of something. And you look like you are having a fabulous time!
Thank you so much! Maybe not a dinosaur but we do have wild hogs in the more remote areas…I’ve seen them on the trail before…Happy New Year Ann!
What a great hike you were on. M really loved all the pictures too.,
Thank you Mario! Mom & I always have so much fun on our hikes 🙂 Happy, healthy & loving New Year to you and yours!
What a beautiful hike, happy new year!

Thank you so much! Have a happy, healthy & loving New Year!
Hey Giz, Jetty here. Hi Miss JG.
Guess what? Mom was up in Boynton yesterday and when she took my Nana out, they saw Sandhill Cranes on the side of the road! She said they look so majestic.
Gorgeous, gorgeous photos… you are really getting us revved up to find a way to visit. 🙂
Wishing you a healthy, happy and abundant new year. 🙂
Hiya Jetty! That’s so kewl that your mom saw them too 🙂 We are so looking forward to a visit here with you…Promise we’ll take you to the very best places! Mom & I wish you, JJ and Miss L a very happy, healthy & loving New Year and send you tons of Happy2013Snoogles*
Hiya Giz…
That’s a deal… Mom has GOT to figure out the logistical thingies!!!
Oh the very same to both of you… substituting Jetty kisses, JJ hugs and belly rubs from Mom!!!
It looks like your two had a great time. We don’t have trails in NY. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year BJ and Lynda! We love our hikes together … and that other link was just a test post I did while setting up a new Windows app…sorry if it confused you *snoogles*
That looks like a great place to go for a walk! Beautiful pictures. Brown dawgs would have been in that water in no time. 🙂 Happy New Year to you!
It is a great hike but I do warn my friends with water-loving dogs that this trail borders the lake most of the way & the water is always in sight so they need to keep that in mind before joining us. Lucky for me, I guess, that Gizmo really doesn’t like getting wet so I’m pretty safe 🙂
Wow, what a great hike! I can’t believe you saw an otter, Gizmo! That’s so cool! They are one of my favorites.
It was a wonderful morning and the otter was the cherry on the sundae for me…We both remained still enough (thanks Gizmo!) for him to stick around a while and let us watch
