On the trails on Saturday hiking Devils Lake: First the good which will be all blooming flowers and a bird. 1. Dutchman’s Breeches 2. Sharp Lobed Hepatica 3. Pussy Toes 4. Sedge 5. Spring Beauty 6. Buttercup 7. Bloodroot 8. Grape Hyacinth 9. Turkey Vultures gliding the thermals. Now for the bad. 1. Toilet paper at least 5 times. 2. A Scarf of some sort used for toilet paper. 3. Many different energy drink containers. Surprisingly there were no pairs of underwear. ---

I maintain a hiking trail by a reservoir that has a lot of fishermen that fish from shore. They get pretty disgusting. It’s not just the underwear and toilet paper, but styrofoam containers for worms, food wrappers and empty beer bottles. If anyone reading this is a fisherman, please oh please oh pleeeease take your garbage with you and bury anything you can’t. I look for interesting rocks and flowers too. I got a nice piece of quartz the other day. Turkey vultures are a dime a dozen around here, after seeing one up close I don’t look at them much anymore. ---

Turkey Vultures are common around here too. They can hoover close to your face just off where you can stand at Devil’s Lake. Occasionally one will slowly rise from below your feet to above your head not more than 10 feet away. You can watch the wings adjust and the feathers move. They were no closer than about 40 feet away this time and not rising so slowly. ---

I found a bunch of orchids, but I didn’t have my camera. After coming home from work, tired and stressed, I finally did something positive: went for a walk with the dog in the regional park out my back yard (as opposed to having a cocktail and some potato chips!) The first [calypso orchids](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calypso_%28orchid%29) of the year are out! I just think it’s very cool to have an orchid growing here. ---

I found an _Attack of the Clones_ DVD while I was out walking last weekend. Okay, granted, I was out walking at a flea market. ---

This morning I found an empty bottle that once held 100 tablets of OxyContin. It has a sticker that reads “This package contains a radio frequency device.” I’m taking it home to see if any DEA agents show up at my door. ---

> [@Harmonious\_Discord](#): > > Rocks are always interesting things to keep an eye out for. > > Today I saw a lady dressed in high end expensive clothing light a cigarette and walk 5 feet to the Walmart entrance. She then took apart a cigarette trash can and picked out cigarettes. It was so pathetic I had to tell the people I know at the checkouts about the lady so we could all laugh about her. Beware that craigslist rolling tobacco people. Cigarettes? They still make those?😃 ---

We saw a (live) pheasant in the woods. I’ve never seen a pheasant in the wild, in fact the only pheasant I can recall ever seeing is the one my Dad stuffed as a kid and still sits in Grandma’s living room. ---

Sitting on my deck enjoying the warmth I saw: my chickens, geese and one duck basking in the sun until: one of the pair of mated eagles living in my woods did a very low altitude flyby carrying a brown and white guinea pig! :eek: ---
