Grey Squirrel


Started to paddled out to Two Top Pine Meadow, and make the Loop, but during the looksee at Ozone Beach, took note of all the tourists over by the South Road, and thought just to make the Little Loop...sat awhile a the Erosion Fallen Cedar and Cottonwoods...Blue Birds were about...missed getting pic of male Bluebird, which I dont think I have...saw a Robin...and Junco taking bath...White Headed Woodpecker came by...all blurry or farfar away pics...picked up and walked along the River to Creek's End...sat awhile at Owl Log...then walked back to the Cabin along the Creek...harmony of the Creek is kinda in disarray with the fallen Oaks...dont know quite how to explain it...I dont think the Oaks have been so broken up by a Storm in a long time, as their branches were all balanced...and that's how the Creek looked too...balanced...maybe the Spring high water will put things back in order!....Grey Squirrel pic at the walks end in the Backyard....quiet sits and walk otherwise!...sunny blue hazy sky...and warmwarmtshirtwarm!....hmmph...knats are about in the Woods....Ants all over the Cabin's Tiki facilities...a small Bee hovered in front of my eyes yesterday...and by Ozone, saw a Turtleback Butterfly...Robins calling and talking at dusk at lunch...and Acorn Woodpeckers talking too, as they often do at last light..

Well..there is something in progress called the Great Backyard Bird Count!

love seeing the squirrel and you are right everything falls into place when the spring run-off/high water returns. one of my favorite times in the valley - cold nights - cool sunny days and the roar of the falls echoing through out the valley.
