Not a lot of pictures, but I had a great morning in Lamar Valley. I enjoyed wildlife viewing through my new binoculars and scopes that others were kind enough to let me peak through, instead of through the camera lens. Started off with a very careful, tentative group of elk cows that were moving through […]
The real reason I wanted to get back to Yellowstone in August was to see part of the bison rut. From my research I knew the first part of the rut was the males fighting to establish dominance. While they were still feisty while I was there, I think the winners were already established. I […]
The Moose Ponds trail runs south of Jenny Lake to a couple of small ponds that I visited in hopes there would be moose around. I wasn’t disappointed — a cow and her calf were there. The calf disappeared in a shady spot to nap while mom munched away at vegetation on the bottom of […]
Visited Teton Village and went up the tram to the top. No wildlife, but beautiful views. Teton Raptor Center Views from Teton Pass
I took my time getting from Acadia down to Savannah. I was blessed with clear skies and no wind for the entire trip. It was awesome to drive in such nice conditions after battling torrential rain and side winds most of the way up to Maine. Acadia campsite before leaving October 18th. Not it was […]
Pictures from some of the most popular places in Acadia – Ocean Path, Jordan Pond, and the Carriage Roads. Click on the image to go to the slideshow. Ocean Path Ah, Ocean Path – my most favorite place to be and a place I was lucky enough to do roves while I was volunteering at […]
I had another volunteer location starting October 1 that didn’t work out in a multitude of ways, so I wandered to absolutely wonder Port Aransas from mid October to mid December. Then I literally stumbled on a great volunteer opportunity with Padre Island National Seashore when I attended a training seminar for cold stunned turtles. I […]
I am not a “birder”, but I like shorebirds a lot and wish I could easily identify more of them, so I’m working on it. I can’t tell you how many 1 legged birds I see. Some walks on the beach I get angrier and angrier. They are not resting with 1 leg up […]
This is my electronic diary of what I find or see when walking the beaches at Port Aransas. I try to identify everything so I’m learning something along the way. I will add new things as I find them. A dead green turtle washed in while I was near the jetties. I asked a lady […]
Taking the Port Aransas ferry is — right up until you get stuck in a long, long line. I still see cool stuff every time. Spending lots of time on the beach I’ve seen it in a variety of conditions — flooded, wet after a rain, extremely low tide, deserted… There was a sand castle […]
