Along the way I saw this Red-tailed Hawk (I think) sitting on a sign. I got one photo through the windshield. My wife stopped the van so I could stand up and try and take a few more shots as the hawk flew away. This is the first time in over three years that I've been able to walk AND take a photo while a bird was in flight. I was jazzed!
There's a flat, 0.6 mile nature trail, so being adventurous...I thought I'd try and walk it...using my walker of course.
Along the way I saw several Barn Owls. I had one Owl start flying right in front of me....about 25-30 feet away. I didn't get a picture as I almost fell over trying to do that. I was able to get this one though...
Got a shot of a Great Blue Heron in Flight too....
Had my wife take this shot about 100 yards to go. She asked me if I wanted the 'chair, but I couldn't stop now!
Before I collapsed, I took this as the sun was setting. I thought it was fitting! I've been to Whitney, Half Dome and more. Those were all very challenging, but I'll have to add this small little hike to my list of big adventures....probably one of my most memorable adventures because of what it meant for me.
Until next time...
