Nature Trip

[CaverGroupie]

I had a wonderful wildlife experience this week.
I didn't go far, in fact I just went out to my own back yard. I spend a lot more time out there now that the puppy drags me out.
While we were sitting quietly and enjoying the evening breeze, something caught puppy's eye in a tree about 20 feet from us. I saw two squirrels chasing each other around the truck of the tree, not 3 feet off the ground. Luckily, she didn't immediately jump up and go crazy barking.
I saw them too, and gently put my hand on her head and told her to be calm, be calm.
Then as they chased each other around and a little higher, they were joined by two other squirrels. The four of them just frolicked and ran and climbed all together. It was wonderful to get to see. And the puppy remained spell-bound until they got up much higher in the branches and we could really see them.
Once she jumped up and barked, of course, they just disappeared into thin air. But I think she was just trying to get them to come back!

A wonderful experience, wasn't it? It amazes me how many people fail to see the beauty around them. Congratulations for your awareness and for your ability to enjoy.

Went to let my brother's dog out yesterday morning about 6:30. There were two deer in his backyard. Funny as heck watching a 90lb yellow Lab trying to sneak up on a couple of deer.

They teased him until he was just about ready to start running, and then they took off and vanished in the woods in about two seconds.

Just goes to show that you can have a pleasant experience outdoors, and it doesn't matter where you go. All you have to do is be aware of the nature around you.

Amazing how the simplest of things can sometimes be the highlight of the day. The best thing is that these things are all around us, we just need to slow down and take a look.

Went out to play disc golf yesterday and saw three small bucks on the course. Had to hold the dogs back big time, haha. And it was only the second hold. What a way to start of the game.

Around here there are quail, cottontails, jack rabbits and scrub jays that are like pets. Lots of doves, red-tail hawks, and prairie falcons in the yard.
