My wife and I took a walk in some nearby woods today. It was near a once abandoned textile mill that's now been renovated for office space, a restaurant and a coffee shop. The overhaul of the place included the addition of a footbridge across a creek adjacent to the old mill. We crossed the bridge and walked for a bit through the woods. We didn't make it too far, though, due to a great deal of mud as a result of a morning downpour.
We did see a Great Blue Heron who seemed engrossed in the thought of finding dinner -- until he took off in flight when he heard us approach. We also saw evidence of a homeless person's abandoned camp. Hopefully the person was able to find drier and warmer -- and safer -- accommodations,
