Taking a hike

i went to my fav spot...the environmental park by my house. i went alone to get some pictures. i was hoping to spot a deer or bobcat, didn't see a thing. i walked the trails quietly and ready to snap that special shot. i decided to camp out in a oak that drapes over the creek where i have spotted wildlife in the past. the old oak skimmed the creek as i sat and waited quietly for that special picture. couple hours and many sounds of something walking around the park and nothing. i will try again another day. i love to wonder around that beautiful place, great weather with a combination of native plants and old oaks. I enjoy nature and all its wonders i like watching a wild animal in its environment, going about its daily routine. sure i can see those same animals at a zoo but seeing the animal when its in the wild you can really appreciate why they were placed on the earth. i believe all nature has a purpose and should be protected.
