My front lawn at sunrise

Indy has been getting a little weird in her old age.  She doesn't like the old woods.  She has no problem w/ the new woods or walking through the swamps.  If I take a shortcut back home through the old woods she runs ahead of me and is waiting on the deck when I finally make it back.  Yesterday I wanted to walk through the old woods and circle back through the fields but she was having none of it and as soon as we got off the path she ran back home.  It was getting humid that day so I came back home too but today I was determined to go.  I need Indy w/ me on these walks.  I have no fears at all when I'm w/ her but w/o her a buck snorting or even ruffed grouse flying up from their hiding places is enough to startle me.  I put a leash on Indy and off we went.  She pulled to come back a few times but it was half-hearted and once we were about half way through she didn't put up a resistance anymore.  Once we were on the other side of the woods I took her leash off and we walked w/o incident through the fields.  She would wait around while I took pictures and then take lead as we continued on.  It was getting humid again so when we got to the top of the gorge, I flopped down on the bench there, put the camera next to me and Indy and I took a breather.  I knew putting a bench there was a good idea;
