I'm going to try to get a photo someday - but this guy keeps hanging around lately and is quite a sight!
another good size bass caught this weekend
and saw several more whitetails
also lots of birdlife - yesterday I did a little birdwatching (and listening! - some of them are quite the screechers)
lots of night noises as well. i wish i knew what they were. lots of frogs, but there is a creature in particular that I think may be a bird but I''m not sure - but it is my favorite sound. I'm going to try to research to see what it may be.
Siler Pond
4 fish on the first 4 casts. i couldnt believe it. only 2 brought to shore though.
and trish came in the house the other day carrying another bird - this time a humming bird
saw 4 whitetails early this morning

Satchel's Fields
I found a hidden gem!!
3 mile tromp through all kinds of stuff with pups and son in tow
lots of birdlife, including a spooked turkey and a screeching! hawk. she may have been telling me the pups were getting too close to the nest

14 fish in a weekend ain't all that bad
Mary's Creek Lake Number Five
Siler Pond
Lots of birdlife. We caught Naphtali on four different occasions eating three birds and a mouse. Trish came in the house carrying a flycatcher that was injured. I told her she was responsible when it took off in the house. It never did. The baby cardinals(?) right outside our door have left the nest.

The Awesome Virginia Highlands
Grayson Highlands State Park
Mount Rogers National Recreation Area
the VA mountain towns of Damascus, White Top, Taylor's Valley, and Konnarock
the TN mountain towns of Laurel Bloomery, Mountain City, and Shady Valley
and a side trip to the Black Mountain Grassy Cove area of the Cumberland Trail on the way home (can't wait til that trail's done!)
70 degrees and sunny skies
4 days with kids, puppies, and green grass
nothin' to do but stroll, lay around, read, and rock scramble
It don't get much better than that.
