Vacation


Wow, did I need to get away. Stayed in a cabin near the Canaan Valley Wildlife Refuge for three nights, did some hiking, sat in the hot tub and just relaxed. I followed this up with a couple of days of easy yard and house work at home, reading, and getting mentally prepared for my summer research. Ideally, I need a week like this about once a month, I think.


Took some pictures while hiking; what a beautiful place, with a lot of wildlife of course. Deer everywhere, evidence of bear and coyote on the trails, and all kinds of small critters in the puddles and streams.

Hatched frog eggs and tadpoles in a puddle on the trail:



Strange little fungi:


Water snake (not poisonous)!:
