Foggy walk this morning.

This is the view from my yard, looking north into the hills...and the fog. We have a big 5 day storm coming from the south...from Africa...my car will be covered with yellow sand again from The Sahara.

Here you can see the ancient olive tree that my landlord pulled out. Now it is in the chicken yard...That is how close the chickens are.

Trees starting to leaf out, but very few.

I had thought about this but I was hoping for the best. I drove right by the shooting range, way below of us, where we walk and it was open. Sure enough, just when we were beginning the walk, the shooting started....that was it for Rune...he was whigged out the whole walk. I kept him on the leash as I think he feels safer. I know he will be upset all day as he is super sensitive. This spot is where we usually turn around as it starts going downhill. It still feels like winter.

I drove further into the fog after the hike to see what I could see. This is the road to a very isolated town called St. Barnabe...a true one horse town. Like all the european backroads, the road can accommodate 1 and 1/4 of a car...so you have to pull way over and wait. ( the road is a dead end and there are many hiking trails off of it but the locals don't want you to park so they make it difficult. )It was completely fogged out up there...Rune was more freaked out as he couldn't understand why he couldn't see anything but white.

the usual rocky terrain.
