Out with nature and my God today. Woods
are wet and the streams are still flowing.



Think my best find of the day was this sitting
tree. Two trunks, connected on the bottom.
Almost like a couch in the woods. ;D



Came across this very old dam, that a farmer
must have put in. Creek is muddy with a bit of
water but nothing like the first picture and other
creeks in the area



Moving along a small creek I came across this
blind above me. (this is a no hunting area now).



Figured it was an old blind. Until I moved
about 30 yards back of it.
Dead deer, animals have been feasting on it.
Looked for the head, figured some animal
had dragged it off, no luck.



After thinking a bit, perhaps it was some crazy
out in the woods hunting, and all the jerk took
was the head. Never will know. >:(



Came across some old foundations,



and some newer ones.



Not much on finds, again. :-\
Bunch of shotgun shells, barbed wire,
can/bottle opener and a heart shaped
horseshoe.



Have never come across a closed horseshoe.
Would some of you livestock folks tell me
why this shape? ??? Also always hang my
horseshoes with the open end up, for the luck.
What do I do with this one? ???



All in all an enjoyable day. Sometimes life can
be good, just slowing down and enjoying it.





all have a good un..
