Apollo discovers Fort Tryon

Apollo's a curious critter even though he was rather shy about the outdoors when all it entailed was a noisy sidewalk with zooming cars. This weekend we carried Apollo about ten blocks north to Fort Tryon, a beautiful park with grass, dirt, trees, flowers, and noticeably fewer vehicles.

On his first enjoyable day out he met a dog, chased a rat, stalked a squirrel, and took time out of his busy schedule to smell the flowers. No matter what his activity, he couldn't keep his paws out of the dirt.
