Today was a gorgeous day in the park! Derrick and I did a 3 hour hike and saw tons of animals and insects out enjoying the sun. I was even able to wear a tank-top today :)

Derrick has turned out to be quite the woodsman. He leads me on these crazy hikes where we jump over streams and climb fallen trees. Today we went trudging through the woods trying to get closer to some deer so I could take some pictures. We're waiting to see if we ended up with poison ivy from it but so far so good.

We were walking along the trail and Derrick was like, "I wonder where all the deer are hiding?" and then I said, "Wouldn't it be crazy if we turned a corner and there were deer walking across the trail?" Well, we turned the corner and there were deer crossing the trail. (Look closely at the middle of the picture above). So off we went, through the woods, stalking the deer so I could take pictures.


During our hike today we saw: deer, American Robins, a Great Blue Heron, woodpeckers, Daffodils, other wildflowers that I don't know the names of yet, these little birds that I also don't know the name of yet

that move really really fast, fly fishermen (and the fish they caught!),

waterfalls, black spiders, geese, ducks, a butterfly, seagulls (and one eating a fish), Turkey Vultures, hawks, people with their dogs (one looked like Turbo) and lots of budding plants.


The other day we were in the park and out of nowhere Derrick told me to put my camera away. I was confused and as I was putting it away I asked him why. Before he could answer it started raining. He said he could hear it coming.


I seriously had no clue. We ended up

walking through the woods during a thunderstorm. It was totally cool but I was glad we made it back to the car before it really started pouring because these little creeks come out of nowhere and flow into

the river which moves fast!
Hope you enjoy

the pictures!
