Something’s Afoot in Cradle Creek

We biked over to a small nature preserve that is nearby. Mike spotted it on our way to Home Depot the other day. We waited for a sunny morning so we could look for birds and other wildlife. Mike wants more practice with his new telephoto lens. It snaps onto his iPhone, in theory, allowing better close up shots. The Cradle Creek Preserve on a Wednesday should be the perfect place to spot a few creatures.

We did see some fun foot prints rather early on. 

No creature sightings other than Sherman. He’s a wonderfully friendly and exuberant labradoodle who also loves looking for creatures in the park. His prints definitely did not match. After Sherman’s March, we didn’t hold out much hope for any sightings.

The trails were lovely. 

We could see the bridge next to our marina from the scenic overlook.

As we approached the end, we heard rustling in the underbrush. Then a creature climbed a nearby tree. We waited quietly and were rewarded with a shy game of peekaboo. 

Mike snuck around while I chatted with our new friend. He was able to get a better shot. 

Success all around.
