Olinda in March: the fairway crowd and the creek below

Back at the old Olinda golf course in early March, with friends and their goldens again. Summer was still hanging on and the open fairways were warming up fast, so the day split itself in two: the grass slopes first, then the shade and the water.

The group photo happened the way they always do: four humans, four dogs, a wall of tall pines behind, and about a minute of cooperation before the dogs broke formation.

Then the creek. Below the fairways the tracks drop into ferny gully country, and on a warm day the water is the whole agenda. Pepsi was in and out of the brown water under the fallen logs, the goldens went in completely, and by the walk back to the car one of them was wet to the skin while everyone else dried off around him.

Max: My contribution to the creek segment was supervising from the log. Somebody has to stay dry enough to judge the wet ones on the ride home.

Same place as our spring afternoon in October, and a completely different day. That one is here.
