Any film about Muir should be good. Congrats on your hat. A shame those celtic crosses are disintegrating. All this topped off by the magic of the owl.

The reward of the hike is a beautiful waterfall at the end. Tamanawas Falls. Deep in the woods, it's not a nice board walk or paved trail. But I plan on having fun. I had to laugh about the owl. All my life I thought they were "barn" owls.... Now I hear they are "barred" owls. Glad you told us that. Was that Ford truck a 1953? I love the ice cream for lunch thing.

Love to "walk" with ...Another great post! Love to "walk" with you. Great pictures of the owl! I remember years ago my kids found a baby owl in our wooded back yard. They brought it to me and for some strange reason I was surprised that it looked like an owl. I had always heard that a Mother bird won't go near a baby if it has been touched by humans, but I had a feeling she had to be nearby so I told them to put the baby right where they had found it. Sure enough, along came the Mother. The baby couldn't fly yet, but she stayed near it and within a few days, they left. That makes me remember that I was "Mrs. Owl" in a school play in third grade. My Mom went through great lengths to make me a beautiful owl costume. I mean she made me an unmistakeable owl. My only words were, "Hoot, hoot, I'm Mrs. Owl". I either forgot them or had stage fright, but I never said them...the teacher from behind the curtain did a fine job as she yelled from behind the curtain, "Hoot hoot! I'm Mrs. Owl."<br /><br />I smiled at the old truck. I came across one the other day--very similar. 1953 Chevy pick up. My son owns a vintage vehicle and belongs to some clubs. It was for sale so I got the number and sent it to him in case someone was interested. Glad you were well enough to take the hike AND eat the ice cream.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371157074687319596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-2300421625025217582013-07-23T22:04:01.229-04:002013-07-23T22:04:01.229-04:00wonderful flower photos, and terrific owl sighting...wonderful flower photos, and terrific owl sighting!
