Today's walk is also a bit of a quest.

I want to see something.

I don't know if I will, but I'm going to be looking for it.

Hi, I'm Dave.

Welcome to Walking Us Fitness, a daily 10-minute podcast designed to provide you with a little added motivation to get out, take the walk, and even more importantly, I believe, to do it consistently.

Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this.

Today's walk is happening on a paved trail that has some pine needles on the trail,

which has a little bit of ambience. Maybe you can hear that, well, it's just me

scraping my, my shoes on the pavement, but there's some pine needles between my shoes and the

pavement. There's a grassy bank that's maybe five, seven yards between the edge of the paved trail and the edge of the lake.

And this is the lake that is behind our community.

It is a man-made lake, small to medium, but it's fun to walk along here and see the wildlife, typically ducks, geese, heron.

Every now and that, I'll see a beaver swimming in the lake.

Swans. We've got swans in the lake.

And so it's fun for me to walk along this trail and see what I can see.

Well, the other day I was on this trail and saw something that grabbed my attention

that I could not remember seeing before.

I probably have it just didn't grab my attention in the past the way it did the other day.

And there was four of them walking alongside the lake in the water but near the edge

and occasionally their heads would go down into the water.

It was sort of familiar but I couldn't place it.

So I pulled up Google on my phone and you can take a picture of something
