Come Ride With Me

Today was a perfect day to take the ATV out.  It had rained heavily last night, so there was no dust.  The sky was blue and the trees were green.
We unloaded the 'machines' at a trail head of the Parrish/Highland's Trail in Langlade County,  about 15 miles from the cottage.
As usual, I had fun taking many pictures.  I apologize for the quality, as I don't like to take my good camera out on the trails.
The reflections from muddy water intrigued me.  I thought this was kind of neat:

Then as I turned around to go back to the group, this photo opportunity caught my eye:

After a little PicMonkey, this is what I came up with.  Which version do you like better?
The sky was as blue as blue could be, and the trees were 'super' green.  It was the most gorgeous of days to be out on the trails.    The view from my vantage point!



We had a light lunch at one of the rest/shelter areas along the trail--

Then off to find a little mud!
It was a perfect day, good weather, good friends, and good times.


And that's the way it is..................

    Our boys do this often...like we used to do years ago. Now the ol' bod can't handle any jerking around...not the ol' sport I used to be, sadly. I love that 2nd reflection best of the two and then the finish with a splash. So cool, but gotta ask, so do you all find a lake to jump into? Looks like soooo much fun.

    That reflection shot(preferred #2) was awesome. Mirror like.
    We humans are so funny. Few things make us as happy as a good romp in mud.

    I love the reflection of the branches in the puddle....but someone is much braver then me to go through that big puddle.
