Forest walk

When the weather is nice, like it is now, not too hot, not too cold, we go on forest walks with the cats. Here is a "fast-cut" movie of a typical outing. I didn't bother putting in nice transitions because I tried to keep the action fast and tight, such as it is. Oh, the bird noises are fake, I just put in a fake soundtrack for continuity across jump cuts.

We first start by going down to our (presently landlocked) dock. If the water ever comes back up to full pond there's just enough depth (about a foot) to launch our canoe. The cats follow us out there to sniff the swamp. Sometimes they'll jump off and hunt frogs or crawl around under the dock on its floats. Once Harley climbed that dead tree right by the gangway. After the dock we then go to the beaver dam or the square of trees (a formation of fallen trees make up a square area). This time we went to the beaver dam. Along the way I caught Harley marking a log, scaling a tree, scratching the dirt after burying her "business card", and helping Corey clear a few branches. Why is it always Harley, Harley, Harley? Mainly it's because she tends to stick closer to us than Sidney. Sidney lollygags bringing up the rear. Plus Harley stands out more in the bush than Sidney. Sometimes we'll catch Harley trying to hide in ambush but her coat doesn't camouflage her very well.
