Times Change
Just recently I told you that I had been writing this blog for one year now. That year has been an eventful one for me. I've been hiking for much longer than that year, but I never took it as seriousl...
Hiking Tips For Beginners
It's time to get serious and make The Everyday Adventurer a little more useful to its audience. My usual goofy posts will continue on most days, but today I want to guide absolute beginners to enjoy n...
One Whole Year
I started this blog one year ago today. I've never done a post about milestones before, and I probably won't do any more. The subject of the blog is not about me. It's about the everyday adventures I ...
Sun Bird
As I continue my quest for adventure, I sometimes am able to capture things on camera that are even better than when I saw it. I was in the meadow at one of the parks I routinely like to go, and when ...
Robin Of The Boardwalk
Even though I just showed you another series of pictures of a robin a few days ago, I want to tell you about this one too. I've told you before that there are very many different types of birds on the...
Bzzzzzzt!
I told you a few days ago that I got some good pictures of birds and a lot of other things, but I'm going to give you something a little different today. Something happened to me when I went on my usu...
A New Discovery
My new GPS that I mentioned in Saturday's post is already paying off. There was a place I saw over a year ago, but I couldn't find where it was anymore. I wanted to visit it, but how could I find out ...
What's In A Name?
The animals I meet along the trails on my everyday adventures are wonderful, but there is something else that I see every time. Even if the animals run and hide, the plants still remain right where th...
Busy, Busy, Busy
I don't know how much anyone has noticed, but I have been falling behind with a few things on here recently. This has actually been a good thing for me. The reason for this is because I've been spendi...
Chased By Raccoons
I left you yesterday in the second part of this trilogy of raccoons as I began walking down the path in the same direction the baby raccoons had fled. It was probably foolish to do it, but I had been ...
Surrounded By Raccoons
I ended the first part of this story yesterday as six raccoons were running towards me. When I first saw them I had no idea what their intentions were. I only knew that they were very interested in me...
Raccoons
I have an astounding story to tell you. This happened to me only yesterday, and it might be the most significant and unusual animal encounter I've ever had. I'm going to have to tell this one in multi...
The Mystery Of The Geese
Yesterday I gave you an unexpected update on the nesting goose I've been telling you about for awhile now. In the update we all finally got to see the little hatchlings. I also told you that I knew ...
The Sound Of Nature
Today I have another challenge I'm going to try. I've shown you very many pictures of nature here, and yesterday I talked about the smell of nature. Now I want to talk about the sound of nature. I cou...
The Smell Of Nature
Hmm. There is something about nature and a forest that most people never mention. It's really hard to blog about because it can't be broadcast over the internet like a photo or even a sound. It's the ...
A Walk Through Nature
Today I want to show you what a typical everyday adventure is like for me. Usually I show you some closeup pictures of one of the forest animals that I meet along the way. There are a lot of days thou...
A Scenic Drive
What kind of everyday adventurer would I be if I didn't take you on a nice scenic drive now and then? I like hiking more so I can see and discover new things than just exercise. Sometimes driving can ...
Just Another Squirrely Post
I don't know what's wrong with me these days! I was never treated like this before!A few years ago people used to avoid me. I was followed through supermarkets by security. I was hated. I was shunned....
A Day In The Forest
It was a dark and rainy day, and I was walking around the forest in my favorite nature park. The rain didn't really get in here under the trees, so it was a good place to be. The rain freshened up the...
Mother Squirrel
I have a squirrel for you today that I've been wanting to show you for a little while. It's been raining here so my other pictures lately don't hold much excitement. That doesn't mean this squirrel is...
My Day And The Geese Game Winners
I have two things to talk about today. The first one is the announcement of the winners of the Count The Geese game yesterday. This part is tough for me because everybody deserved to win, and there we...
Nesting Goose Update 4 - Done
I had a completely different post ready to go today, but this one simply could not wait. This is the fourth and final update on the nesting goose. Things have happened very fast here, and I'm not real...
Nesting Goose Update 3 - Soaked
We had a huge rainstorm last night. I knew there would be considerable flooding at any of the nature parks. I've seen how it can get when it's been raining hard, and whole stretches of these places be...
The People Of The Forest
Today I have a little surprise for you. I'm going to break character and tell you a little secret. It's something that you might not expect from me from the things I've been telling you. I probably sh...
Forest Fight!
I saw something pretty exciting today! It seems I'm not the only one that's been chasing black squirrels through the nature preserve. What I'm about to tell you happened so fast that I didn't get any ...
Afternoon Lake
It was a peaceful and quiet afternoon at Carpenter Lake. I didn't do very much except walk around looking at a few random things. There were a few birds around, but none that I could see. I could only...
The Craziest Animal
Today I went to the nature park a little later than I've been going recently. I decided to go in the evening before it really started getting dark. I kind of wondered what the animals would be doing t...
Mother Duck
I finally saw the first mother and babies of spring today. I have to tell you right away that these three pictures aren't very good. I actually had to do some editing work to get them to come out as w...
Back To Nature
Today I have a little lesson for you. It's something I had to remind myself about yesterday. This lesson is about enjoying nature. I write this blog partially because of nature. I use nature to help m...
Snake Attack
Warning! This post describes something that may be frightening or disturbing to some. The description and some of the pictures show a snake attack on another live animal. This isn't necessarily as si...
