On Sunday I took 650 pictures at Circle B Bar Reserve, and had quite a lot of fun with my friends while we were hiking and discovering the wildlife along the trails. We three were pretty much together the whole time, yet our phones recorded different amounts of steps for us. Our taller friend’s phone recorded a lot fewer steps for her, but us two shorter gals numbers were quite similar. It was the miles that were different. At 6.5 I had the least, and I believe our taller friend’s phone was approaching 9 miles. Whatever it was it was a long enough day for my feet to be objecting by the end. With the recent rain I had opted to wear short rubber bootlets, which allowed me to feel every rock embedded in the trail, and I was regretting that choice by the end of the day. As fun as it was we were quite ready to call it a day and go find some lunch. 
The eagles and the owl were what had the photographers gathered like paparrazi. Even my bigger lens, which I had chosen not to carry, wouldn’t have gotten the sort of shots that I can get when I visit my usual eagle nest. And my first ever owl photos were taken at Circle B and they were really nice shots. This owl was up too high, in the shadows, and obscured by Spanish moss. And facing backwards. Nevertheless we three were so excited when we saw our shots in our computers and we saw that we had gotten the owl’s face. Sort of…
The nature center at Circle B has plenty to educate and entertain people of all ages, as well as the occasional flamingo.
