Rainy day ramble
At
this time of year, every day is a different season. Last week, we
were sweltering on 90 degree afternoons, but this weekend rain brought
highs in the lower seventies.
The woods is completely
different during a cool rain than when the sun is shining. Sounds
are muffled by the wet leaves and my eyes turn down toward the ground
where treasures are easy to find.
This box turtle was walking down a rutted
deer trail, his brilliant red eyes the brightest I've ever seen.
In fact, the turtle's orange face and fiery eyes were quite a bit
brighter than the fallen leaves --- prematurely brown because of a mild
drought. Lucy patiently sat and stayed while I fiddled around
with the camera and took about two dozen photos from four different
angles. Thanks for waiting, Lucy!
