This week we found one way to avoid the heat is to get going at dawn, and of course, be home by noon.
Destination: Crooked River
Departure: 5:00 a.m.
Reward: Pleasant morning sitting by a stream.
When you sit quietly, nature comes to you. Or more to the point, you notice what was around you all along.
Before the heat of the day pushed us out, there were visits from a kingfisher, osprey, heron, numerous songbirds, and a collection of wrens.
Early morning sun illuminated a web filled with spider snacks.
Stalking spent flower blossoms revealed a plethora of wonders in the frame of a macro lens.
After lunch at the Tastee Treet, we headed home to avoid the oppressive afternoon sun in air conditioned luxury. Soon there will be another early morning jaunt.
As usual… fun pics!
Thanks!
