Walking again, with a berry topping

[redbird]

Having walked a bit over a mile with cattitude a couple of days ago, I decided to try a longer walk today. Just in case, I wanted to walk along a bus route, in case I needed to turn back.

The obvious answer to that was to head south on Bellevue Way. Cattitude came with me—he has missed going for walks together—and we made it down to the South Bellevue Park and Ride, which according to Google maps is 2.1 miles on foot. (We caught the bus back.)

In terms of health/stamina, I am particularly pleased because I did this walk after a morning workout that included leg exercises.

I am also pleased, and surprised, to have found a few ripe blackberries at the Park and Ride. In October. Earlier in the walk, we had passed a bramble that had lots of dried-out berries, and one branch of berries that needed another day or three to ripen, which started us looking more closely.

Woo-hoo! How exciting, both the walk and the berries. We haven't had a hard frost here yet so it's a glider approach to fall.
