WPC: Partners

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge for the week of June 24, 2016.

They were partners from the very beginning… … all the way to the end.

It’s almost impossible for me to resist an unexplored trail, one that curves around a bend and leads off to who-knows-where.  When I reach a fork in the road, my only question is, “Which one shall I explore first?” And if the path takes me over an old wooden bridge, that’s even better! Off I go… I’ll see you when I get back!
