A Sunday afternoon promenade in nature

It's a nice day. Why stay inside? Let's go for a walk...where it's pretty, in nature.








So we go off. Debbie and I, with Mama and Kelly, off the Oconee National Forest, "Pond 2A" first, then to our favorite spot, the rocks "by the creek". It's actually called...humm...little falls or something like that. Anyway, we call it "the rocks by the creek".


We saw a lot of birds, including 7 Wild Turkeys. Wish I had a gun with me, I could shoot one for Thanksgiving coming up. Just kidding! We also saw a few ducks and a couple of beavers.



The leaves were changing colors all over, and it was just...pretty.  You've got to see it to appreciate it.

Isn't it just amazing how the simple pleasures of life with loved ones are so fulfilling? There we were, taking a ride with stops in the forest and having so much fun. If you remember, this is the same forest where we like to go camp. It's a big forest, full of fun and adventures.

 Turkeys are just...well, turkeys, stupid.  They were just staying in the road.  Maybe they knew this was not turkey season.  What if we didn't know and we had a bow and arrows! They were so close.  OK, we were not there to harm nature but to enjoy it, and we enjoyed seeing them.  sigh...just thinking of Thanksgiving, you know.
