Friday afternoon Clayton, Mart and I took advantage of the warm afternoon temperatures to hike the quarry trail. Not many people make it beyond the nature center and the butterfly garden. But for those that do make the hike down the valley to the old quarry that supplied limestone for many of the homes and buildings of Bellevue, including Potters Mill.
As you rise out of the valley you'll be surprised to see the remnants of the old lime kiln.
The maple canopy blocks out the summer sun preventing undergrowth along with invasives that you see up on the ridge from taking hold.

The owner of Grandpas Parlor was out walking his Corso.
The Cane Corso is a native of Italy. He was a property watchdog and hunted wild boar. Prior to 1988, the Cane Corso was known only in southern Italy, and was considered very rare, but has still been featured in many paintings throughout Italy's history.
This was another view of Bellevue that many folks never get the chance to see.
