I will show more of NYC in another day. But first:
All my life I have enjoyed being alone with the woods – Pennsylvania mountains, Canada wilderness, Texas deserts, Florida swamps, even a busy Island like Block Island, in the dead of winter, had woods to walk.
I went, not deep into the woods for days – just a few hours out and few back – maybe a few overnights where I could still sense civilization nearby.
To take my gun (I was much too young to be trusted with such an instrument by today’s standards) and head out for a Sunday afternoon walk along a Pennsylvania stream was the TV of my youth.
Yesterday I carried no gun, my instrument was my iPhone camera. So, using my iPhone photos, I will take you along on a three hour walk:
Who maintains the two log walking bridge? But, it is one access to the “Swamp” area.First a long downed palm tree – I have photographed for the last 15 years – I still see a face in it – Do you?I see my friends – the herd of 4 or 6 cowsAnother herd of younger cows – one has a white bird sitting on its head!Oops – No problem – Just a non-poinsous RedBellied snake (Lower right) – But be cautious -never focus too long on cows with out scanning the area around your feet!Who passed here – Canine or Bobcat. I think Bobcat – fairly round foot print and one longer toe – those two features say cat to me?A palm tree on the horizon creates the figure of a cross in this Christmas season.A loan bird soars in the the cloudy skyJoined by three moreSun is getting low as I return to the two log bridgeI know the cows enjoy camping out here – can you tellI know the wild pigs enjoy dinner on my trail – Can you tell?My instrument of the day helped share this walk in the swamp area
