Walking the dogs….

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

I try to keep fit by walking my dogs in the morning, but I always roll one for the ‘road’ , which is actually an all terrain track that I treaded flat myself, luckily, the first part is downhill. Even here we have found today’s most popular indica: the Cheese. The clone came from the UK with a guy I will not mention, for obvious reasons. My grower friends treat me to some of their harvests, I help them with advice and a seed or two.

Cheese, or Queso.

This is the Arroyo de las piedras (Creek of the rocks), you can see why. The land on the left is ours, the creek is the frontier for the dogs, our neighbours dog does not like them on his side.

You have to look closely, but there is a wild river turtle on the rock in the river. I had to zoom from a distance, because the dogs always scare the turtles of the rocks into the water, so I do not get much time. This is the Guadalhorce river, another frontier my land is enclosed by water on two sides, the creek runs into the river.

Thr river is not really wild, it can be during and after heavy rains. It does keep the area nice and green through most of the year.
