If you scroll down several posts, you'll find one related to a Sunday around East Alabama. There were a couple of responses about some pictures, so here are a few for you to see.
The donkeys near Mt. Cheaha were just as curious about me as I was about them. But they were very friendly and enjoyed getting their necks scratched when they came over to the fence. The little one on the left had almost white fur in his ears.
A hazy view of Mt. Cheaha taken from several miles away. The view is looking south and the road is SR 281 which runs right to Cheaha State Park. It is a very scenic drive from US 431 with a couple of great overlooks.
During our hike on the Chinnabee Silent Trail to Cheaha Falls we saw a number of interesting mushrooms. One of the most unique was this one which strangely resembled a peach.
Cheaha Falls were a bit dry with very little water running in the stream. This is my wife, Jane, and our dog, Dakota, as we head back toward the trailhead. We hiked about three quarters of a mile from the trailhead on SR 281 to the Cheaha Shelter just above Cheaha Falls. I’m still amazed at the absence of any color change beginning to show. Just a few trees under the immense canopy were beginning to show any signs of color.
From the Cheaha Shelter on the Chinnabee Silent Trail looking approximately east. It has been a very hazy summer in the three or four times we’ve been to Cheaha State Park. Haze or no haze, it is a wonderful place to visit especially if you like nature, quiet times, and leisurely walks.
No pictures to show but we watched five or six deer from our travel trailer this evening. I tried snapping a few shots but the deer are too far away to see clearly. It was thrilling to stand in the woods watching the mother preen her fawn. One deer was not particularly pleased with my presence and stomped her leg several times. She finally snorted loudly and bounded off in the opposite direction with that white tail pointed skyward.
