Days 1-4 ~30 Days project Nature

Day 1

Spring is here!

I like fall better because I know after spring comes summer and the crazy hot weather.

I do think it is pretty though.

Day 2

Gifts of love from my two little boys.

Day 3

I was trying to get a different perspective of this tulip so I used a little cedar trees branches to frame it.

Day 4

I believe this is a winged elm.

Love this tree.

For you photographers out there, I am shooting and editing all this project in RAW.

I edit my raw files in Darktable.

I am too set on using my Gimp program that only edits jpegs.

I always take my professional pics in jpeg and raw but I would like to convert to raw only.

Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge ~Okmulgee, OK

The Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge is located around Okmulgee.

The walking and hiking paths are south of town.

There are three different ones to choose from but I cannot remember the names and the lettering is too small to read on the map they have on their site. So I only know the name of the one we went on.

This time we went on the trail farthest south on their map called the Railroad Trail River Overlook.

It leads to a observation deck overlooking a river.

It is only 1/2 mile to the overlook but we kept going after that and walked around the refuge.

Playing ring around the Rosie in a clover field.

I love Oklahoma sunsets.

There is a short trail right off 75 that just goes to a lake and another one that is stroller and wheelchair friendly.

The stroller friendly one is the boardwalk trail.

Sorry I do not have all the trail names!!!

It is a beautiful place to go and if you are quiet you might see some wildlife.
