Great Expectations ..


Inspired by Daryl's post, today seemed like the
perfect day to wander along new paths .

This one seemed harmless enough.
The Park ranger said Bison and wild horses
might be two miles down the trail. The Bison
have such a pungent odor that I would smell
them before seeing .. so with that in mind I
set out on this little day adventure.

who would have thought ( not me.. ) to check the
weather forecast..or to carry an umbrella..or even
to look behind and see the storm closing in on me.
Afterall is said and done, I am not an outdoor girl.


So two miles away from shelter. A hundred mosquito
bites later. A monsoon over the prairie. What to do but
go forward... keeping the rain at my back and trying to
protect my precious camera and blackberry.......

Until I saw this guy slide into the marsh and head to
my side of the trail... suddenly the rain on my face
and covering my camera was not that big a deal.
Who knew I could cover two miles in record time.
Hey Daryl, whaddaya think... should I enter the NYC
marathon next year ??
