We walked the 0.7-mile circuit around Volkening Lake on Monday evening just as the light was fading. But there was still enough light to illuminate the dog.

On the other side of the lake — which is really a large pond — we spotted geese and goslings crossing the path. 

We wisely held back as they waddled across, since we didn’t want the geese to get any wrong ideas about what our dog was up to.
