Today we were supposed to go hiking but unfortunately it's raining heavily and we had no other option than to cancel the plan. I was so excited for today and now this day has turned into a boring day. I think we will be rescheduling it for next week and I hope that the weather won't be playing games at us. Anyway, do you like hiking?

I hate it when rain spoils my plans, I used to like to hike but my knees are bad now so I can't.

I don't really like hiking as I am in my 70s now but I do enjoy walking. That's a fantastic picture. Maybe next week.

@sprite1950 It's very relaxing to sit by the lake especially in summer. We also fish over there rarely

When I was younger, I loved to hike, especially in the mountains around my sister's house! (She owns three mountains in Arkansas. We can see them from our house but they are over 100 miles away from us.)
One of the mountains my sister owns has a shallow cave in it. We find arrowheads and other stone tools around it when we have time to go there and relax.
I LOVE your photo! Is that Pampas Grass in your photo or possibly Maiden's Hair? (We have Pampas Grass beside the sidewalk into our house.)
Edit to add: Right now, we couldn't go hiking if we wanted to. It is winter here.
Would you like to see what it looks like out my front door right now? 
That is my car buried in the new fallen snow. You can see my Pampas Grass just off the front porch.
I can't add the photo! IDK why, either!

3 mountains. This sounds wonderful. It must be pretty relaxing to be there. I just love spending time in nature.
The mountain you see in the picture I have actually climbed it two times. And those grass are called kans grass. We are summer over here and it's boiling hot. Lol. That's the reason we wanted to go hiking and enjoy the cool air.

@Nawsheen Yes, I like going to visit my sister and getting out in the country air.
If you want some cool air, may I suggest you come for a visit here? 
It is 37 degrees (F) here right now (1:45 am).

@Nawsheen well yes, but that's not why I haven't hiked. Just no where near here to do it or anyone to do it with

your photo is brilliant. I agree with you rain is a spoilsport whenever some outings are involved. The area gets muddy one has to carry umbrella and creates discomfort.

Next week. Go for it.
I remember about few months ago, it was forecast heavy rains. But we went to the beach as had planned, anyway. We left at 6 am. It was showering when we arrived. Sun showed a bit. But we played, and got ourselves covered with wet sand while hubby took amazing, awesome photos in the rain-- at the beach.

Sorry to hear that but the weather isn't going to get any better for at least 2 or 3 days I guess. Seen those dark sky? It's all over the island. And people say there is sharks found on the island. With all these rain what do you expect. Anyway better luck next.

It will definitely change the plan, sometimes it is a show-stopper.
