I'm afraid it's now my hobby to photograph all of the #CreepyCrawlies and weird stuff that #LadyDuchess and I come across in our evening walks in the woods.

Honestly, I've come to find it all quite beautiful.

I've always loved #Hiking, but I'm only now discovering part of a world that I've long been part of, but barely understand.

It finally cooled down these past couple days! #LadyDuchess and I took advantage.

Hope you're as lucky this morning as I am to have someone wonderful to go on adventures with.

I tried calling anyone I thought might be able to help. Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources closed hours ago and has no 24-hour presence. I don't have a boat. I tried grabbing the tree branch, but it was too dangerous and unlikely that I could pull it far enough.

Thank goodness we have a tree pruner at home. #LadyDuchess and I ran home from our walk, and I drove back & was able to get it free.

Wish I could have removed the hook, but hopefully I gave #Fish a fighting chance.

Did some amateur #Photography on my adventures with #LadyDuchess today. The woods nearby is full of trees with deep knots and holes, and lots of creatures find these make nice homes.

Calling this set of photos "Secret Lairs and Hidden Passages".

If you liked the "Berenstain Bears: The Spooky Old Tree" as a kid like I did, you might like these!

Also, there's one @futurebird might like 🐜

I'm a bit of a night owl. A few nights ago, #LadyDuchess and I went for a ~9-mile walk, and I got some practice with nighttime photography. All of these were taken in near-pitch-darkness.

@eclectech Hope I'm doing this right.

This is #LadyDuchess. Her preferred accessory color is light pink 💖

@Paws2Trail I was up in that area for the first time last month (in Ironwood).

Sadly, it was only a 2-day business-related trip, and I didn't have #LadyDuchess with me. Very pretty landscapes out there!

Lady is not the most coordinated, and when she walks along the top of a wall or something like your pup is in the pics, she is so proud of herself 😁
