Never saw any ticks either. But I am sure they are all on their way! Just glad they were not out in force while we were there.<br /><br />DanielaGone Hikin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/10297585067127631509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113668519601172330.post-80843308714373548572017-05-01T18:07:14.545-04:002017-05-01T18:07:14.545-04:00Thanks, Jim!

All I saw was a speck moving around and had to zoom in to even see that it was a bird. Not that I would ever do this, but I bet you no matter how tired Shawnee is, she would not refuse to go on another hike with me. Like her chiropractor says, her body might not want to hike so much any more but her mind does.<br /><br />DanielaGone Hikin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/10297585067127631509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113668519601172330.post-78577439227156253842017-05-01T12:38:27.827-04:002017-05-01T12:38:27.827-04:00You got some great shots, especially the pictures ...You got some great shots, especially the pictures of the turtles and Bear Creek Lake. Were there a lot of bugs around the lake? That's what I find on my hikes near water when the weather gets warmer. Shawnee looked so comfy on the bed but yes you got busted when you came back. Glad she got a special treat from Burger King.

Some parts of the hike reminded me of Parvin State Park back in NJ.<br /><br />Loved the Louisiana Water Thrush doing some sort of "extreme" activity on the waterfall/spillway! (Maybe there's a birds' version of American Ninja Warrior??)<br /><br />Glad all was well with Shawnee at the end...I dunno -- for a dog that was supposedly "tired" earlier...gotta wonder why she gave you the "busted" look this time!<br /><br />Looking forward to your next adventure!<br /><br />-- JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
