2024 WWE #204 — Cormorant Gathering

We’ve had a lot of rain off and on lately, so I thought I would do a little wishful thinking and dreaming of spending time at the Catawba River near the Fort Mill Dam with Coleman. Therefore I created a video compilation of a previous time we enjoyed exploring trails along the Catawba River and the Fort Mill Dam.

Water Reflections and Autumn Leaves

When Coleman and I took an early morning hike along the Nature Trail at The Schiele Museum of Natural History, just before Thanksgiving, I was amazed at the spectacular view of the tremendous number of leaves which had fallen on the ground and in the Pond. It was such an amazing sight I had to capture the moment with my camera. This slideshow is my entry for Dawn’s Festival of Leaves and Jez’s Water Water Everywhere.

Catching Rays of Sunshine

Coleman and I walked around the Pond at The Schiele Museum of Natural History’s Nature Trail on Saturday after participating in the Dinosaur Day’s activities. I was fascinated by the turtles in the Pond while Coleman moved onto the Playscape area to have some FunTime in the sand. I stood there for a few minutes watching the turtle move (his/her) head & tail around to catch better rays of sunshine.

Shimmering Reflections in Andrew Jackson State Park

It’s been raining a lot here this year even more so now that hurricane season is here. Where we live we mostly get tropical storms during hurricane season. It’s been raining more so on a nightly basis. Therefore, we we do get a beautiful sunshiny day Coleman and I try to take full advantage of it. We (Coleman) decides where we’re going and we go enjoy our day hiking. It’s definitely more amazing when we are by a lake.
