Lazing On A Summer Afternoon

The creek was low, and hardly moving, the air was still, and a bit thick with humidity, temperature in the mid-high nineties..... Perfect time for a walk with my son. We crossed the creek in Miner's Park, and went a way up the Nickleplate bike trail. He had fun looking for "Clues". We saw Garsshoppers (green, grey and yellow), a dead mole (which the boy insisted was a rat), some dog poo, a running rabbit, and, most impressively, a badger (I think) scrambling into its lair at the base of the tree shown above. And then peeking out to see if we were still there!
