Marshy Point Nature Center is one of our favorite local hiking destinations. It's quite close, accessible by city bus if necessary and has in the six plus years we have lived on the water provided access to the peace and beauty of woodland and shoreline hiking when needed.

| Oak leaves changing |
We decided to head off in a different direction, hoping that the trails on this side of the park would not be too muddy. We were in luck. We walked out White Tail Trail to Iron Point. It seems that the trail has been recently upgraded, yeah! As i remember a couple of very muddy spots along this trail from previous hikes, it was nice to not end up with muddy, wet feet.

| Sunday morning paddlers |
When we reached Iron Point, which overlooks the outlet of the Gunpowder River and Wilson creek(i think) we could here the paddle boarders well before we could see them. It is always amazing how far sound carries over water.
Sigh. I'm still learning how to best use my new lens and am often dissapointed in some of the results. You have got to love digital SLR's though. I cringe sometimes when i think of all the film i would be wasting during this learning curve.

| Frustration #3 |
And why you ask, is the above image titled Frustration #3. It is a rather pretty picture of trees slowly changing color in glorious sunshine. What's not to like? Well the elusive, beautiful red tail hawk that was soaring in and out of my picture frame; mostly out.
