Friday April 24, 2009
A clear calm sunny day to start, that around 10am changed over to partly sunny, with very windy conditions. I headed to Weston Bend State Park for the morning. I walked the entire paved trail, and then walked the River Trail and the Bear Creek Trail. Then I stopped on the way home to check out an owl nest. Even zoomed in totally the picture is not clear. But it was neat to see some activity anyway.

Some pictures from the day:
