Quarantine Swampwalk social distance day 196
Critters seen: five squirrels, a cardinal, a lot of gnats, a few small brown birds, one turkey vulture, no eagles or osprey, no neighborhood kitties, a few dogs barking from yards en route to swamp. Two humans, both in cars, and the kettle bell mother and son playing in the side yard of thier house.
The were a few sparkly slug or snail trails, but I didn’t spot the actual trailblazers.
Regarding my walks, I think part of why I dig walking in the woods may be that I quite enjoy being shorter than all the trees. I like being reminded that there are things alive bigger than me, and that are (as far as I know) blissfully unaware of all the worries and stressors that surround me as a human pretty much daily. Trees can be pretty, or spooky, or have life in or on them, and they aren’t passively looking to kill me.
I find woods to be so comforting. You get a sense of isolation, but there are hints of other creatures nearby. A little worn trail here, some berries or mushrooms, the odd critter makes things homey, rather than something so visibly relentless as crashing waves of the sea or the crowded industry of the city.
The novelty of living in the Mid-Atlantic with seasonal change, mountains, and different types of forest and swamp than my childhood everglades and the keys of South Florida still tickles me quite a bit. The cooler weather right now (had a tiny sprinkle of cool rain, with the air at a delightful mid-60sF is so much more comfortable, even in a swampy area by the Chesapeake Bay.

Swampwalk social distance day 195
My walk was solo this morning, as Mrs. had a telework meeting early on.
Temperatures were cool, when I left the house it was 57F, though it warmed to 70F by the time I rolled up to the house at the end of my loops.
So many squirrels. I stopped counting after six, probably twice that seen both in the swamp and neighborhood. I haven’t seen little brown, preggo or Lorenzo in a while now. I have named the newest that eat our tossed out veggie scraps Joseph and Salvatore, and they seem to hang out together more than they are apart. They look friendly, but more adult than little brown, possibly he grew into one of them and found a playmate with whom to share food.
No kitties today, but that Belgian shepherd was out again, and barked a hello warning as I walked by. Very well behaved, only barked when I was passing the property, and stopped promptly when I passed the gate.
Two neighbors have new bunting and signage outside, one a string of rainbow 🌈 flags while the other has maga/ reelect 45 set of flags and signs 💩 , right next door. I would say that put them at odds, but I know a couple of people who are otherwise intelligent but are somehow able to see logic in being in an interracial gay relationship and also being pro45. If I were his black boyfriend, I would have serious words, but I’m not, so I just remain baffled.
Halloween and Autumn 🎃 decor have also started springing up on homes here and there along my promenade route.
