Creek Snag




Paddled over to the Post Office...heard Hawk in Flicker Grove...but I was over across Bobcat Meadow in Artist Grove...book came....Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat...young readers' book...dont know if I ever outgrew young readers' book reading...always like the imagistic sentences..and this one has Great Horned Owls described very well!!

"We'll walk Indian file, boys," he said, "and quiet as mice. Tiptoe...Mustn't scare the owl away."
Well, that sounded all right, only you just can't walk quietly in a poplar bluff because of all the dead sticks underneath.

Shuttled back to Lower Falls and hopped off....El Capitan reported a 'Bear everyday...but not yet today' and 'Hawks crossing over...'....sat awhile at the Deer House....and on the Creek's gravel....listening.. quiet...clip of Blue Jays on the Fallen Cedars...and the Snag pic up...lighting very cool because of the moving clouds...Florida like sky..back at the Cabin relaxed awhile...some tv...and then out to the Creek again...still quiet...diverted at Creek's End by a book reader sitting at Heron Point...and again by Half Stump by an evening stroller...heard Kingfisher at the Bend, and just sat and waited on the gravel.....pic of alpenglow on Half Dome....no luck with Kingfisher....had along the accessory flash...which I couldn't figure how to work...need the directions...but did get some flash pics of Mama Doe and Two Fawns...diverted from Ozone Beach by Bongo Fernando....clip with his playing for soundtrack!...back through the Woods in almost dark..and heard AspenOrCottonwood's raspy call....but just two...and way too dark to see....sunny with the Florida Clouds...pretty pink clouds at sunset..and pleasant when the clouds were blocking the sun...critter pic up in the double A gallery...'curious deer'... just the back of their heads!!..hmmph...but a critter pic nonetheless!!....scenics are good....worth a looksee...brb...
