A Hip-Shaking Squirrel & the Porpoise Seekers

Yesterday, I visited an old park I hadn't gone to in years. This morning, I woke up early to catch the first lazy rays of sunshine peeking through the canopy of trees, and stroll down the boardwalk.

I took my trusty adventuring backpack that is conveniently miniature sized. It holds everything a girl could need on such an adventure: my Bible, a fresh composition notebook, my keys, camera and a tube of autumn blackberry lip gloss.

 Conveniently mini for all your adventuring needs!

And what's an adventure without a little music? Click here and here for the songs I listened to. :)

At the park, I walked down the boardwalk and found a little friend. He was squirrelishly (pun entirely intended) darting about and wiggling his little hips as he went. I even took a video, but it did not do his sassy dance any justice.

After a little walk, I went up to the observation deck for a look around. It's in the top left hand corner, just barely peeking over the trees. While I was up there, I met a tourist couple sporting a pair of binoculars and musing about "seeing the porpoises." They were kind of crazy and wondering if school had let out yet. I think they thought I might be playing hooky. This cracked me up because 1) I'm in college and 2) If I was a high school punk desperate to skip school, would I really spend my morning wandering aimlessly through a nature park? Oh, tourists. You delightfully kooky people, you.

If you're wondering why the tourists were looking for porpoises, it's because the park overlooks the bay. Not a great shot (you could see more from the observation deck), but at least it explains the binoculars.

The view from the top of the world! Haha. Although it was a fairly humid morning (I could hear my hair growing ten times in size) I was super excited to get to go adventuring around the park. See ya next time, boardwalk.
