Laurel & Pine

Taskinas Creek Trail

York River State Park

Mountain Laurel and Eastern White Pine are, for me, kind of like Rosemary & Thyme, Simon & Garfunkel, or maybe Sonny & Cher (Oops! I guess that last one didn't last). :-)

Taskinas Creek Trail

Returned yesterday to the Taskinas Creek Trail in York River State Park, a wonderful place to observe wildlife. Just in the time it took the Washington Commanders to score about 20-points in their Sunday afternoon game with the Carolina Panthers, I heard and/or saw Great Blue Herons, Pileated Woodpeckers, White-tailed Deer, Barred Owls, Red-shouldered Hawks and Red-bellied Woodpeckers, not to mention the leaves of various deciduous trees just now beginning to show their fall colors. 

Memo

Always, ALWAYS, it's the maple trees that get the memo early. :-)
