A Walk in the Park


I went for a walk in Stone Oak Park yesterday with my husband and my black Labrador, Maximus. It was a beautiful November day in San Antonio, clear skies, about 75°F. I took video and still photos of the area which I’ll post here as soon as I figure out how to do that. Because I had a FABULOUS idea!

For Thanksgiving, we are traveling to visit my family in Miami. We’ll take I-10 through Houston, Beaumont, Orange, Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, Mobile, Pensacola and Tallahassee. Then we’ll take I-75 through Gainesville, Ocala, Orlando, West Palm, Fort Lauderdale and Miami. I’d like to take videos and still shots of some of the forests I’ll be in or near. Like to help me? Research and suggest some national forests or parks on the way for us to stop for photos. Then we can discuss and compare and otherwise ready ourselves for the Sustainable Forest & Climate Change field experience!

As I don't have a blog, I will have to ask my dad to post this. Are there more walks into the woods for me?

Love

Ocala National Forest- good place for boating, fishing, hiking, hunting, camping, and sometimes casnoeing in the summer! I've never been, but apparently, winters are relatively mild and temperatures normally range from 50- about 70 degrees fahrenheit in the winter. Sounds really nice! :)

Thanks, Elisa. Ocala NF would be a nice stop. As it turns out, we didn't go close enough to it for a quick stop. :( And I won't have time on the trip back because I have to catch a flight to Maryland EARLY Sunday morning!

DJ, to answer your question, I have to credit my parents. My mom encouraged me to question and search for my answers. My dad challenged me to be accurate and scientific. They both provided me with opportunities (travel, museums, books). And I guess God gave me the talent and curiosity.
