My fantastic traveling companion and I went on a bit of an accidental hike – it started out sort of as a “where does this path go?” situation and ended up with our walking across a bog or two and then along a small river. The normal people who were out that day took the normal trail, which is OK if that’s the sort of thing  you’re into.

Anyway, over there on the normal-people trail, I spotted this happy family trying to get the baby to look at the camera.
