On the Bike Path

There is a walking trail near my home where I often take my dogs to run.  Part of a railway line built in the 1800's to transport lumber, its rails were taken up and it has now become a very a popular spot, with people jogging, walking, biking and horseback riding along its length of over twenty kilometres.

In the spring, it can get very muddy, and the tracks left by the various passersby can make for some interesting patterns.  Whenever I see them, I think about the uncounted tracks and trails left by wild animals over the millennia and how we are following in the footsteps of many more beings than the humans who have gone before us.
