What do you do when you're in love with nature? You're right! You go visit her. And she puts up her prettiest colors for you. She lets her pretty birds sing for you. She shows you the trees getting ready for spring, and the little miracles she knows how to perform. Just look.We paid nature a visit this afternoon, and she was happy we came. We saw no one else visiting at the Piedmont Wildfile Refuge. We felt she was a bit lonely. She blew us kisses through the cold breezes. At first it just felt like a cold wind to us then we realized that Nature was just caressing our faces. Ok, calm down now, Mother. Show us some pretty birds.
Have ever seen Purple Martins and Tree Swallows performing their dances over the water? Nice, very nice. They make their acrobatic dances and swoop over the surface of the water, tirelessly. We were not sure if we should be clapping or not.
Do you see the raging water in the last two pictures? Well, we were here last fall and we could walk all over the place. Now, a beautiful waterfall. The background made us look like we belong...so we took some pictures. Have you noticed the natural green carpet of moss being laid in the 1st picture? Sure, I'll sleep there. But no, thanks, I'll bring my own tent. I'm not sleeping on the carpet. Just kidding, no camping allowed there actually.
All in all, it was a pleasant afternoon. We saw flocks of birds, some may be migrating back north (the ducks). We drove through the Refuge (sort of protected forest
) and stopped whenever there was something interesting. We walk also, of course. That's part of birding, taking a walk in nature, isn't it? Nature is beautiful. Go pay a visit sometimes.
