how i started my weekend
After I finished work on Friday afternoon, I took a quick drive over to my favored local park to get a little outside time. As my ankle’s still healing up, I wasn’t planning anything particularly strenuous, just a little amble along the marsh and a sit on the bench overlooking the river junction for a little bit, maybe see if I could catch a Froakie, a rarely spawning new Pokemon that showed up in PoGo over the last week.
The entrance road to the park loops around a large marsh, with a couple of little observation points along the way that the local birding population loves to use. I didn’t see any birds as I passed the first one, but I did see these guys:
These two young raccoons were just hanging out on the railing, apparently eating up someone’s left-behind snacks, enjoying some late afternoon sorta sunshine. I sat in the car and just watched them for fifteen minutes; it was cool, relaxing, and calming.
After I bid them goodbye, I did walk over to the bench and sit and watch the river go by for a while. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
