Tallulah Gorge State Park and Falls: Part 1

Published on by SylviaLeave a comment

I’d been wanting to visit Tallulah Gorge State Park but I needed to wait for a day that there wasn’t a water release + a camp site becoming available. I was able to hit the road by midnight, my time (central), so I could be at the park by 8 a.m. (eastern); especially with it being a little over a 6 hour drive. That way I could be 1 of the 100 people that could get a permit to go down to the gorge for that day. Permits are free.

* You will NOT be allowed to participate (even in the safety training) unless you are wearing proper footwear * Flip flops and crocs are not allowed. Have your license plate number on hand because you’ll need it for the permit form. Pets are not allowed on the gorge floor. Not recommended for non-swimmers.

I’m so far behind in blogging about the adventures that I’ve taken….but hey, better late than never. This was a visit back in 2022.

Baby Bird

Published on by SylviaLeave a comment

About a week ago I kept hearing birds outside chirping more than usual and noticed what appeared to be a bird on the ground. I thought maybe it was sick or something and decided to go check. Turns out it was a baby bird (fledgling) which I left alone considering it wasn’t injured. Momma and daddy were close by.

I thought it was pretty cool seeing this right outside my front door. I kept a close eye out as best I could since cats like to visit my yard. There’s something peaceful about seeing nature in action. I’m not sure what type of bird this is.

(After coming home from an outing, I checked back to see if him or her was still there and it wasn’t. Hopefully it went about safely to do what it was needing (learning) to do; fly and be independent.
