Instead of just writing about the walk I took last night, I decided to write a couple (or three) haikus, inspired by a fellow naturalist and blogger (Patricia Lichen)! I was at work in the entrance station with my notebook so this is what I came up with:
Heat waves shimmering,
Animals still and quiet:
Desert's afternoon.
The sun is setting,
Light falling on swarms of bugs;
A light breeze begins.
I walk the creek;
A startled skunk lifts her tail
and I hold my breath!
I also came up wtih: Even a swarm of bugs can be pretty in the right light! I wish I had my camera...I'm walking again tonight so I'll try to remember it!

Hey Ranger Kim, thanks for the shout out! LOVE the haiku--aren't they a fun little challenge?
And it was good fun to see your post over at http://rockpaperlizard.blogspot.com/
Have you checked out his Interpreter Stories (there's a tab at the top of the website). I eat them up like candy... see if you love them too.
Those are so fun! Great job!!
