Kind of fun to find caretakers at a nature center who have a sense of humor.vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-33616120469455810352014-05-12T11:03:09.190-04:002014-05-12T11:03:09.190-04:00Lin, I blame the digital world for this failure to...Lin, I blame the digital world for this failure to capture the bird. Back in the day of film, I seldom carried a camera because of the expense. Now I "shoot" merrily away and discard more than I keep.<br /><br />Vee, thanks. It could not have been better weather for outdoor activities.<br /><br />Sharkey, that was probably my once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I have seen pileated woodpeckers at a distance on the side of a tree, but never one up close.<br /><br />Grace, I used to say my idea of camping was a night in a Holiday Inn, but I have come to enjoy it!<br />(Except for the woodsmoke. What is it with people and fires?)<br />vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11978025976591113499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-44071384397974174442014-05-12T10:43:22.409-04:002014-05-12T10:43:22.409-04:00I thought perhaps you might have been on the road....I thought perhaps you might have been on the road...Seeing other folks photos is as close as I want to get to 'camping'...LOLGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779872914493612101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-3683235436692639802014-05-12T10:27:20.041-04:002014-05-12T10:27:20.041-04:00Oh, to get a good picture of a pileated!

Lucky to get out camping so early in the year. :) We've been at Mounds State Park--that is a sweet little park--nice pool.<br /><br />It never fails--you always see the best things when the camera isn't handy. It's worse when you have it...but just can't get to it fast enough. Ugh.<br />Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.com
