Three” Out

for a Evening Walk

My daughter (Trisha),
my grandson (Coleman),
and my future
granddaughter (Sophia).

This was taken on Tuesday evening at the entrance to Goat Island Park and Greenway as we were preparing to head back home. This was a rare occasion for us. My daughter normally doesn’t care to go walking and I do not see well at night to attempt walking anywhere.

However, my daughter is so ready to be over being pregnant that she decided she needed to try to start walking some on her days off. She is trying Curb Walking to try to speed the process up of Sophia being ready to make her entrance into this world. [I’ll be discussing Curb Walking further in a future post soon.]

Coleman loves to go walking/hiking at any given opportunity. He loved having his mom come along on an evening walk with us.

Chugging Along

Five days a week as I wait at the bus stop before (with Coleman) school and after school (waiting for Coleman), I watch the Norfolk Southern Trains chug chug chugging up and down the railroad tracks. Coleman loves to watch the trains (he would love to ride in one one day). Sometimes when I am waiting for him to arrive back at the bus stop in the afternoon I’ll capture the Norfolk Southern Trains chug chugging along with my smartphone. Then he’ll watch the train later in the afternoon.

Here is a trio gallery of the Norfolk Southern Trains as they zoom past me standing on the corner.

A Disturbing Evening

For Thursday Trios

This night we were disturbed and confused by the loud sound of dogs barking continuously. The loud noise was disturbing during the time of evening we were trying to get Coleman to go to sleep. The extremely loud and constant barking was preventing him from getting to sleep. We were confused and did not understand where the excessively loud barking was coming from until our neighbours two doors down knocked on our door. It turned out our landlord brought them to the backyard of the house next door to us and chained them up. We were confused and disturbed by this knowledge and did not understand why he would do such a thing.

Our neighbour, Chris, called the landlord and asked him to come get the dogs. He let him know he did not want to hear the dogs barking all night long. He was called around 8pm after the dogs had already been barking for over three hours. When we found out where the barking was coming from we discovered that no food or water was in sight for the dogs. Randy, the landlord, told Chris he’d be there to take care of the situation at 9:30 (another hour and a half of continuous barking). He didn’t actually show up until almost eleven (11) pm. So a total of a minimum of six (6) hours of continuous barking with the trio of dogs chained and left with no food or water. Very Disturbing indeed.

Canada Geese

It is Springtime, the Canada Geese are flocking to the rivers. In the past few days as Coleman and I have visited the South Fork Catawba River and Goat Island Park and Greenway, we have noticed more and more Canada Geese enjoying the riverbanks as well as swimming and gliding in the waters of the South Fork Catawba River.

Here are a few photos of Canada Geese Trios captured this week.

A Gaggle of Canada Geese

On Sunday, Coleman and I stopped by Goat Island Park and Greenway on the way back home. We were delighted to spot the Canada Geese enjoying themselves on the water of the South Fork Catawba River.

Now that Spring is here and days are approaching the warmer temperatures, we are seeing the Canada Geese more often than we had previously. Sometimes we see larger Gaggle of Canada Geese than we did on this particular day. Most often we see them entering and swimming in pairs. Therefore, seeing three swimming together was a fantastic moment to capture.

Follow the Leader

in Kayaking

the River

Springtime in the Carolinas brings kayakers to the river for Funtime paddling in the water with rays of sunshine bringing warmth and tranquility to their lives.

Hey, Wait for me … I’m coming …
Okay, y’all who’s taking the lead?
Just let me finish maneuvering
and I’ll by straight to follow y’all.
I’m ready now, shall we venture on?

Three kayakers in kayaks as seen from the banks of the South Fork Catawba River as Coleman and I were hiking the Disc Golf Trail parallel to the river. We watched the fellow in the red kayak maneuver his kayak away from the River bank and paddle to catch up with the other two kayakers to continue joining them on their adventure downstream.

Beside the River

On Tuesday after Coleman arrived home from school, his mom and I took him to the Baseball field to practice his hitting and fielding. Coleman just recently been assigned to a team for T-Ball.

Anyway, after his mom was tired of helping him practice Coleman and I took a short hike down to the river. The C.B. Huss River access is located off the Eleventh (11) Street parking lot. The Kayak rack is located at the river access trailhead.

Coleman
checking out the
Three Kayaks

Last Thursday, Coleman and I hiked the backside of Goat Island Park and Greenway. We hiked along a back road to reach the far side of the South Fork Catawba River. When we reached our starting point, we came upon these three pipes seemingly discarded near the river.

Walking a bit off trail, we saw these three tree stems, limbs, or branches sticking up out of the water. It is always intriguing to see what interesting things we can find along our hikes.

Mushrooms Shaded Seating

Coleman and I visited a “new to us” park this past week. The name of the park is Central Park located here in Cramerton. According to the Cramerton website, Central Park prides itself natural surface mountain biking trails, walking trails and a natural stream running the length of the park.

While we were hiking along the trails, we had a difficult time distinguishing between the walking trails and the mountain biking trails. Some of the trails had water running across them from the creek (stream).

Alongside one of the trails we came across this unique seating arrangement with tall mushrooms which provide shade for hikers taking a bit of a rest.

3 Trail Signs, 3 Trails, 3 Hikers

When hiking at Anne Springs Close Greenway there are occasions when you come to an intersection of sorts where more than two trails cross paths. Here Paradise Loop, Tunnel Trail, and Blue Star Trails connect. If you are Red not familiar with the trails, you might want to pick up a trail map at the entrance to the Greenway to help guide you along the trails as you hike. At this three-way crossing, you may continue on the trail (such as Paradise Trail) you are already hiking on or, if desired, you may switch to one of the other trails for further exploration and hiking.
