Shrubbery

This morning on my ride I saw a baby hedgehog chilling by the side of the highway, munch, munch,  munchin’ away at some roadside shrubbery. As I rode passed him, he indicated to me that he wanted to cross the busy road. At first I disregarded him, and continued on down the road. But I could not ignore my conscience and I quickly biked back to the shrubbery where he still sat, munch, munch, munchin’ away. I swear though, he did want to make the cross. If you have never seen or touched a hedgehog before, they look a lot like a porcupine, and feel as prickly as they look. I scooped him up (and a bit of his shrubbery), yelled, “OWE BABY HEDGEHOG!” (he really was prickly),  and ran him across the road and farther into a big farmers field. SAFE. I continued on, guilt free J.

Later on down the road, I stopped to observe some llamas with twitchy ears.  Llamas are weird, so I pressed on.

The trails behind where I live

A tree for sale! I want it...

I had taped my camera to my handlebars in the hopes of capturing some sweet trail riding, but my camera ran out of battery. I'll try that again some other time.
