Since the Whispering Pines hiking loop is located opposite our campground here at Tyler (TX) State Park, we had to go around the lake to access the trailhead yesterday. We had three options. Two were to go by road, either walking or driving. We chose the third. We walked halfway around the lake, then accessed the trail by crossing through a camping area and the loop with the cabins.
The lake was very still, perfectly mirroring the sky.
Along the dam the wildflower brigade was changing the guard.
Indian Blankets were slowly giving way
to Mimosa's
feathery fragrant pink flowers.
Two Mallards enjoyed the quiet
as did two turtles basking on a log.
The only creature we disturbed was this tiny frog.
(That little black spot above the largest rock)
Keeping our eyes open,
Louise and Duane
