23 February 2023 Panola Mountain State Park

It was a grey day to visit the granite mountains of Panola State Park, but the weather held off for most of the day and a great time was had exploring new trails.



We heard the sandhill cranes before we saw them take flight.  There were about twice as many as shown in the image.  It was an unexpected delight.



We're not used to seeing trout lilies in the woods this early.  Our Georgia visit gave us an early chance to enjoy these pleasant blossoms of early spring.




Spotting a tiger swallowtail in February was an unexpected treat.


It's waiting for me...


Why hello


This remains the smallest turtle I have ever seen.


Soft shell gathering on a log.


This quiet tree with a picnic table looked like a perfect place for a quiet picnic or a rest on the trail.
