On my way down Shure's Landing Road this afternoon,
I was startled to see a peacock strolling up the road.
I just thought I'd mention that so y'all will be careful driving
down the hill toward the parking lot.

It was after 5 pm so not much was stirring along the path except for
a flock of yellow-rumped warblers, but the ospreys
and bald eagles put on a vocal show, with much chirping
and fish-catching and many low passes over the trail.

The hillside is covered with trillium right now--it must be
spectacular in morning light.

and carry that which is heavy up to the place where dwells the race of gods.
More than any other thing that pertains to the body
it partakes of the nature of the divine." --Plato
