I went to one of my very favouritest places today.
Calling it a walkabout would be too strong-- it was more of a wanderabout.
I saw several bluejays, a woodpecker, and a rather ferocious and curious little chickadee.
None of them cared to pose for this paparazzi-of-one.
The trail was more overgrown than I've ever seen it before, and the elevated parts of the trail were in disrepair-- in some spots, even dangerous.
I wonder whom to contact about that, and about volunteering to help.
I took out the garbage I found along the way when I was done-- a miller light bottle, a plastic bag, some cigarette butts, and a pepsi can (found near the car).
That there was so little garbage either speaks well of those who use the trail, or speaks sadly of their number.
Perhaps a little of both.
