Weekly Photo Challenge: Express Yourself

A blurry coyote. Sometimes — just sometimes — this is how I think the world sees me. And sometimes — just sometimes — this is how I see the world.

If I had just been able to hold my camera still enough to get a clear picture . . . but that, too, is sometimes how our efforts turn out: blurred when we thought we were being steady. The good news: I feel lucky to get the photo, blurs and all.

Wile E Coyote

This coyote was in our back pasture early one morning. It was after sunrise but on a grey, cloudy day. I took one step towards him in hopes of getting a better photo and off he ran.

Palmetto State Park

Hubby and I hiked a short trail at the Palmetto State Park. It was a beautiful, clear day and we took advantage of it.

The park is named after the tropical dwarf palmetto plant.

It has an old water mill that is now used to keep water in the swamp. The building doesn’t really lean; that must have been me and my camera.

The literature says that close to 240 species of birds can be found at the park. I’m thinking that includes migrating birds and maybe they don’t all live there at once. I heard a woodpecker and managed to get a photo.

I also discovered — by chance — an item that I suspected to be a geocache. I left it undisturbed.
