Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.
-Henry David Thoreau 
The hubby and I took a field trip out to the Tomahawk Creek Flooding area which is part of the Mackinaw State Forest in northern Michigan. This is known for its wildlife viewing opportunities. We were hopeful we would see Loons or Osprey but maybe the next trip out here. We heard several Black-capped Chickadees and observed Canadian Geese (they must've followed me from my cabin!) and a female doe.

A very pretty area. We have chickadees moving into our log cabin bird house this morning. Wish you were here to capture some photos for us!
Looks very peaceful there.
Wow, beautiful pictures Shelley.
Love the one of the trees and the path covered with needles!
So pretty out there - the doe is what I would have been watching.
Looks like a wonderful soft footpath there, and fragrant. I love the sap-smell of an evergreen woods - especially on a hot summer day.
I have never heard of tomack flooding...where exactly is it? I might have to check it out this summer!:) Quote goes well with the photos, great post! :)
That forest trail is just stunning.

Love those pictures. That looks like a really nice place to just get away from it ALL!!!
That is such an inviting trail through those trees. I feel pulled to walk off into your photo!
Mildred - I'm so happy about your chickadees! They are one of my favorite birds!
Darla - it was lovely!
Wendy - Thank you!
Tricia - I tried unsuccessfully to get a photo of the doe - drats!
Deborah - It did smell wonderful!
Nature Lovin - if you click on the hyperlink below the photo (on Tomahawk) it will take you to more info on the area. I know you would love it!
Abe - we had such a lovely walk underneath those tall pines!
Busy Bee - a much nicer sound than car traffic! LOL!
Cedar - Let's go! :-)
We've never gone there, so I will have to put it on our list of "to do's" when we travel towards the bridge this summer.

Sounds like a nice time for you and your Hubby to spend the day in the woods, and what a lovely day for it...maybe the geese let the rest of the winged inhabitants know you were coming...and they skedaddled! Next time sneak away so the geese won't know.
What a beautiful forest area...such an amazing canopy of trees. I just love finding areas such as that.
The deer are just plentiful right now, I noticed but otherwise, the woods seem very quiet.
Lovely shots, I can just feel the serenity sitting on one of those huge rocks by the water.
Thanks for your visit and comments!
Oh my, how majestic those shots are...love the shot of the trees, they go on forever!
I love how clear and beautiful the water is! It is just gorgeous! Great photos.
Hi Shelley, Tomahawk Creek Flooding looks gorgeous. You definitely need to go back there!!!! Sounds like you had a great week/weekend.
We are glad to be home.. It was a wonderful trip --just getting to see my son and family. BUT--the weather was horrible. Oh Well!!!!
I'm going to check through some of your older blog posts.
Hugs,
Betsy
What a beautiful place to walk. Thank you for letting us share. It's just lovely there :>)
Hi Shelley, thanks for asking about Jilly, but I really don't know when I'll see her from one time to the next. I've left messages for her daddy asking if her Easter pics have come back yet so that we can get a package of our own & he finally responded today & said no - but he didn't elaborate, so I have no idea when they'll come in. It's literally like pulling teeth w/ kids these days to get any kind of information out of them.
In other news, my daughter actually came to see me on my birthday the 15th & gave me a bday card - I'm still in shock about that & just don't know what to think. She also admitted to me that Jilly has been living w/ Justin's (Jilly's daddy) parents since she was 3 months old & she's 20 months old now. I can't believe it, so horrible.
I better shut up now, I could go on & on. We've all talked & talked about all of this (meaning me & my parents & my sister) and its gotten to where we're all talked out, or I should say they're all talked out - I'm still spinning & can't come to grips with it all.
