and it is a great thing….
We went off the left side of the old dam.
This little dog loves adventure. 
It really is lovely off of the trail.
I am so lucky to have him guide me. Life is beauty full!

Ice off the Trail
It was really super cold in Atlanta last week, not as cold as up North but cold for us southerners. So, Coop wanted to go off the trail…
He is very persuasive.
So we walked down to the dam.
I am going to go on the other side to see if I can get a better picture. 
They knocked a hole in the dam so, the creek could flow through. 
Then I saw the ice on the rock. 
We came across this cute bench off the trail. 
Well the weather people are reporting we might get snow again tonight. Things go crazy if there might be snow or if there is snow. People hoard bread and milk, go figure….I just make sure I get to the liquor store.
Off the TRAIL !
Coop and I decided to go off the trail today and this is what we saw.
Lots of graffiti.
and more graffiti
oh wait there was even more graffiti.
But if you look closely, it is really some cool artwork. Then we went down to the creek.
It was really nice out today.
Then we had to get back to the trail.
Up this little hill, and then we found it.
It was a great day for exploring. 
can you see the chimney? 
This is where the original Decatur water works were like a million years ago. Now it’s just ruins or canvas for graffiti. There are a lot more trails off the trail so new adventures await. Coop was really pooped afterwards. 
Mason Mill Park, and we went off trail….
Fall is in the air and I love Mason Mill Park. There is the Garden.
They have a senior center and a great playground that is always crowded.
Coop loves it!
Then we headed down the trail.
Here is some of the colorful graffiti. I will try and get some photos of some more of it. Anyway, then there is this tree….
this tree sticks its tongue out at me every time we pass it. To continue our walk, we decided to go off trail, on a very safe looking trail. 
Oh whoops before we went off trail we spotted a turtle.Now off trail, 
this is where we went. It went along the railroad track. 
It ends out here….
In the neighborhood. which way should I go?
I made it back to the trail and autumn is here!
