Morris island a conservation area, tucked away off the beaten track. You have to know its there, and you have to want to go there. For me it sent me into “longing” it has a lot of water, small bays and inlets all teasing and inviting to paddle, canoe/kayak. It was a very hot day, we were in the high 80’s with a ton of humidity just to make it more interesting… walking (for me) was an effort, what kept me going was the shaded areas I could see ahead of me on the path we were on.
Bonnie had her bird identifier ap with her.. she was happily giving me the names of the birds she could hear in the trees around us. I was content to wander with my knife shaving off the dead bark off a piece of driftwood I found at the start of the walk. It was casual and lazy, we had no need to rush, we simply put one foot in front of the other .. and made our way along the pathway we were on. There were numerous trails that ran off the road we were on, but we stuck to the main trail we’d begun at the start of our “trek”.
It was at one of the little bays we passed that Bonnie spotted something in the water she thought at first was a swimming turtle, but, in fact it turned out to be a beaver! It helps to have someone with you who is observant and sees things you would not otherwise see. I was focused on finding wood, she an experienced birder was more observant on life above the ground. I was checking out all the dead wood with interesting features.. Made for a pleasant walk, usually I am on my own, so this was a delightful experience for me. Careful Bonnie, I might want to drag you out into the wilderness more often. =^_^=
There was a section of our walk that I was totally engrossed with. I found it was full of hiding places for the “wee” ones. =^_^=
Hidden in the cracks and crevices we saw today, live a zillion micro cells of plant matter and small insects, some of the openings are gateways for the many rodents and wee ones that roam the forest floor. During the season where I am not totally wiped by the heat and humidity I want to go back with my Nikon and get close ups. I know that there was much that was hidden from view today… =^_^+
Never stop exploring

It’s okay to think “this is where it starts” There is always a turning point. It’s important what you do from now.

I’m impressed you made the journey! When it is hot and humid, I can barely move!
I hear you Eliza.. I was one tired “puppy” they keep telling us there will be rain, that would at least break the humidity levels.. (one hopes)… we get out of a car with a/c and then walk trails in the sun, full force of the heat/humidity… thankfully the mature trees lend shade. at least the tired is one of feeling like I accomplished something… sends loving hugs across the miles..
Beautiful images 💚
Thank you! good monring!
Wish you same
How lovely!
good morning Cindy, yes .. I hope to go back in the fall, but as you know here in Canada, there is a lot of “wilderness” to explore. sends loving hugs across the miles.
A splendid, well described and photographed, walk; suggesting that your legs are improving
good morning Derrick it is called determination.. age is something that keeps happening. and no matter how much the brain wants to think it’s still 50, the body knows differently. sends gentle hugs across the pond and waves.. hope you are doing well.. I smile every time I see your posts.. happiness is….
🙂 Determination is so necessary
