Our nature walk group went to Eisenhower Park today. It was a cool morning (yes, 70 degrees is wonderful for San Antonio). This park is full of Cedar, Juniper and Live Oak and sits just on the edge of the Texas Hill Country. This is a nice place for birding and we spotted quite a few today.

Which way?

Here's a bit of camoflauge for you (not to mention the camera being out of focus!). Can you spot the snake? A very young girl in our group spotted this guy. Boy, she has a good eye!

We took an opportunity to catch up on some letterboxes while we were here. The Inca Trail Series is located in this park. This series was created by a very good stamp carver. Cool stamps! The other series that is located here is the Silverstein Series, which uses a bit of humor, especially with their "Invisible Boy" stamp. The picture below is a clue if you're looking for that "Oak that lays on the Cedar as it grows". We found a hitchhiker with the Inca Turtle letterbox... and left one of our own with one of our finds!

For more info on letterboxing, check out www.letterboxing.org and/ or www.atlasquest.com. This is a fun outdoor activity that the whole family can enjoy!

Daniel made some discoveries while we were working on a letterbox.


We weren't able to identify this flower. It stood out beautifully in the wood. It is a trumpet shaped flower that grows on a vine. It has a lovely leaf shape. If any of you botanists can give us a clue, we'd love to hear from you.
I'll list the birding pictures on the next post.
