They're Everywhere

While visiting in Michigan, my friend Judy, and the dog she is currently fostering, showed me that there are great places to walk everywhere.  The West Bloomfield trail follows a former railroad track and extends over about seven miles.  Houses back onto it and many of the owners have left openings in their back yards so they can access the trail, making it quite a communal asset.  It seems to be quite popular for dog walkers and cyclists as well.  I only did about two miles of it but it was great to find this  opening up at the end of an ordinary street and find some good old Michigan wild flowers.
