In music composition it is good to introduce themes slowly, develop them, building to the main material. One doesn't simply rush in and deliver the musical climax immediately...
After a few days hiding out around the house, it was time to get back outside. I was planning something semi-epic for Thursday, but definitely wanted to warm up a little first. My body reminded me gently that the musical metaphor was definitely applicable here, and there would be protesting without a gentle prelude to ease into things. Fine by me. Julian and I made a date with the Rattlesnake and took off for one of our semi-regular picnic lunches. We hit up the trail along the creek, and then did a quick loop in Spring Creek. That was just about enough riding before lunch, so we stopped up around the Wallman TH for some PB&J.

A good spot for some PB&J.
Then again, what isn't? |

| A leisurely stroll. He did just fine over our 1.5 mile loop. |

| More lovely flowers as the season goes on. |

| Julian really liked these, and kept pointing them out along the trail. |
Overall, about 20 miles on the bike and a mile and a half or so on foot. We took our time and had one of those great long summer afternoons outside.
