Bowser and I continue to visit the trail near our home(s) almost daily. There is always something new to see every day so it never gets boring. One thing stays the same however.
This particular view 🤣.
I watch Bowser carefully as he is my early warning system (usually) of others in the woods. At one point during one of our walks, he stopped and stared intently across the water (of one of the side streams that feed the main creek) at the opposite bank.
I took this picture because he looked so cute and alert, not knowing what was to come.
While Bowser was looking, I heard some major rustling from over there and thought "Oh, it must be a very large dog that he sensed." Well friends, it wasn't a dog. It was the most magnificent buck deer I have ever encountered. He was huge with a very impressive set of antlers too. Think: Bambi's dad; The Great Prince of the Forest-impressive. And, even though I had my phone in my hand with the camera app open, I was too gobsmacked to take a photo. Here is a re-enactment:
What are you looking at, Bowz?
OMG. He's so beautiful!!! Oh no, now he's leaving....
And I forgot to take a photo!!!
Try to picture Bambi's dad's head and shoulders peeking out from behind these ferns.
Bambi's dad. If I was at all skilled at Photoshop if I even owned the program, I would have pasted him in my photo somehow.
The next day, we disturbed a great big bald eagle at the shore of the creek. Again, no picture!!!! But this is what he was picking at.
What's left of a very large salmon. I think it must have come from the creek? Although I've never seen any fish this big in it. But I had met a couple of people on the trail recently who told me that salmon do run it, usually in October 🤷♀️. I do see eagles flying along the creek (at certain times of the year only), so it makes sense.
I realize there are not nearly enough Bowser shots in this post, so here are a couple more.
He loves to run and leap over fallen branches.
Don't be sad you didn't get any photos, Oma. Be glad you saw these things in the first place. Wise words indeed, Bowser! Thanks 💕
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!
Rock on,
The WB
