I've decided to write down some of my hiking stories and I'm having such fun remembering all the fun things I've seen. My husband asked if I was writing down any of the bad experiences and yes I am. There aren't many but I want to try to record every 'notable' experience that I can think of.
The story I wrote today is entitled
"A Foxy Tale"
It was a warm humid morning on the first of August,
2019 but I had 'cabin fever' and got out on the Florida Trails. I stopped at Foxy
Glen to look at the twisty gnarly tree limbs for Foxy but couldn't find
him. I hiked on to Big Buck Bend looking for deer, but nobody appeared.
So I turned around and headed back. When I got to
Foxy Glen I spent some time looking again but nothing! So away I went. I
had taken a few steps when I decided to turn and take an overall photo
of the trees. I had my camera pointed up when out of my peripheral
vision I saw something on the trail. On the trail WITH me! I lowered my
camera and took a photo. There was Foxy looking up into the trees with
me wondering what we were looking for. I thought it would make a cute
caption above his head to write, What's up there? I had a laugh and
watched him run into the trees, up a tall skinny pine. I walked back
looking for him but he was already draped over the limb of a twisty tree. I decided
just to walk right under the tree to get a better view. He
pulled his head back with just one eye showing. I think he thought he
was hidden then!
Foxy...you sure are a cute critter!
Here are the photos to go along with the story.
And he's OFF and running!
Relaxing!
Now he's 'hiding'!
And yes, I've named some of the places along the Florida Trails. Foxy Glen, Big Buck Bend, Bluebird of Happiness Hill, Bobcat Holler...all names I've made up for spots that have a special meaning to me along the trail.
Remember this is just for fun! A way to get some of my stories down before I forget them. I'm not a great writer. I write pretty much like I talk...slow and easy!
