I've recently been visiting what seems to be quite a little nature preserve on edge of town. I say this because having walked, hiked and drove around all the local "state parks" such as Lake Katherine, Lake Alma, Lake Hammertown, etc etc I've had more luck seeing more wildlife and colorful plants at an industrial park in the past week than those other places on many trips put together! Don't get me wrong the parks are nice and have their moments but for someone with little time or patience I'd put my money on this spot any day so far. I've been trying to get the early to bed, early to rise thing down just so I can take a little trip to this special place before opening shop. One trip I seen a turkey,
three deer,
one hawk ("on a pear tree"?! No, sorry just sounds like I was mimicking the song)
and a baby skunk. Now granted not a safari but all within 200 yards in about 20 minutes makes for some fast opportunities for wildlife shots. The skunk just didn't stick around long enough which I was somewhat thankful for as I wanted to put a little distance between us but he soon disappeared too quick in the tall weeds to get a shot. So far I can't say that I've gotten any really good shots but the opportunity seems to be there so hopefully it comes through!
