fat suburbanite dad: Nature Walk

Some friends and I take a hike a couple of times a week through the foothills behind the kids school. It is very convenient, we drop our kids at school and are walking in the hills in less than 2 minutes. As an added bonus, I get Deacon walked and he is worn out for the day. Normally, we see a turkey, quail or sometimes a rattle snake, but this week we saw some bigger animals. There are also mountain lions in these hills, but I hope I don't run into one again. Hubby and I accidentally walked up to one at the end of a hike in the hills behind these. I don't know if you can see them in this picture, but there is a black colored sow and her piglets foraging. I saw three piglets. Once my friend and I were half way along the trail, we heard another boar snorting down at the creek. We walked a little faster after that.
