Today I took a trip to Elizabeth A. Morton National Wildlife Refuge and I thought that I’d share my experience with you with a picture story that I made below. Please enjoy.
A soon as I started the hike, I was greeted by these birds. Literally, hundreds of them all over the place. They were following me as I walked — guess they wanted food or perhaps just to chill. These birds totally rocked! They are called Black-capped Chickadee’s. They are really brave as well. For the first time in my life, a wild bird landed on my finger for a second and it was amazing. I wish I had some food for them.
I came across a few small ponds
This is me on the beach after a hike through the forest. It was cool because I was in the woods for about an hour then all of a sudden I pop out into this awesome beach. I was like “wow! sick!”
I found some crab claws and cool shells. I brought a few home with me. This beach was really nice. I sat on it for a while and observed the ocean and meditated for a bit.
As I continued up the beach for about an hour, I found another large forest. It was a bit creepy looking, but as I entered I saw this awesome patch of flowers
Here’s a cool dried-up flower
When I popped out onto the other side of the beach, I found this HUGE…HUGE… hawk’s nest, an Opsprey’s nest. I didn’t see any hawks, but the nest was cool. When I first saw the nest I was amazed by its architecture, so I climbed up to it. The hawk actually used a sandal as building material — look closely and you’ll see a peace sign on the sandal. The hawk was PEACE!!
While on the other side of the beach, I began tracking a raccoon (or perhaps Opossum). I wasn’t able to actually see it, though. It must have smelled me coming and left. But here are the tracks.
Walking back to the main side of the beach
Now I’m walking back through the forest towards my car. But before I ended my journey, this Eastern Chipmunk came up to me to wish me farewell
Thanks for virtually walking with me on this journey. Hope you enjoyed! Peace!

aren’t you scared you might get raped and killed in such a desolate, quiet area…where there’s hardly, if any – witnesses around
ha, i actually thought about that once… imagining if someone snipered me while walking along the shore… that would be pretty crazy, eh? well, sure, it can happen. but… can’t live life thinking like that. hehe
lol – maybe that slipper, on that hawk’s nest…is from a statistic
indeed, maybe it is
ha, i doubt it.
