The last couple of days were really nice
last night was great, I went for an over-nighter up by Davis Pond. I got to walk around for a while when I first got up there, the woods were alive with the sounds of spring. There were lots of Turkey running around, and several Rabbits.
lots of Squirrels as well. The first one is looking through the windshield.
There were lots of spring flowers
The pond
Found a nice stream to sit by for a few minutes.
Then a walk through the trees
There are always lots of ferns and moss here this time of year.
I found someones home in the trees.
I found a snake enjoying his dinner I think though I couldnt figure out what it was exactly; I didnt want to disturb it any more than I already had.
And then the sun started setting.
Time for my dinner mmmmm smoked oysters and crackers. There was a storm that moved through. I have video/audio of that but Ill have to put it on you tube too big for photobucket.
The next day I walked around the area there at the pond a little more.
The Cherries are coming along, three trees bearing.
Then I rode up the road a way and went for a walk in a different area. Parked here and checked out a stump that I was sure was fatwood.
Even though it looks rotten
there are signs that give it away the wear of rings at the base of the branches.
and sure enough cutting into it
Fatwood.
and yes it does burn in the rain, and yes that is thunder you hear.
This can be a bad thing to mess with here, anyone know why?
Then shortly after I found a nice secluded spot the rains started up hard again. Shortly after this I decided I had been soaked enough times and that I was ready for a cup of coffee. So I headed home for dinner.
