This evening I took a walk up the Flushing River Trail as far as the footbridge that spans the Flint River. This photo was taken from the bridge, looking south, back toward town.  It was a peaceful moment, just me and some bird song.  Then other people came along. You see an assortment of people on the trail on a pleasant summer evening. About half of them are in the company of a dog. Sometimes even two dogs.  Of those who aren’t with dog, about half are riding bikes.  Plenty of kids, too, on bikes or on foot, with or without dogs.   If you walk in the morning, you don’t encounter kids or bicyclists. Still some dogs, though. You got a dog, you gotta walk it.
