Beyond the Slough

Larry McMurtry spoke of the 'Wondering Hill' in his

writings of the The Berrybender Narratives.

For the time being, I will call this the 'Wandering Bridge'.
The bridge , built in the 1930s has been witness to our world
as it changed for 70 plus years at multiple sites.

The crossing at the International and Great Northern

Slough is being readied to receive the 'wandering bridge,

maybe for it's last place of rest.

Beyond the Slough....

The road continues to the next waterway.

The Sabine river is beyond. I'll explore

it at the next opportunity

Sorry, I had to take a look.


The information Highway .... The way it used to be.
The telegraph wires still run through the woods.

American Indians called them the
'talking wires'

Mr. Woodpecker looking for a bite.

This raccoon is out in front of the wildlife viewing stand.

He was really focused on the quest of food. I whistled,

thumped on the floor, and called him. He never slowed

down in digging in the mud until I cleared my throat.

This Dragonfly likes yellow jacket snacks. He (it) grabbed

the yellow jacket as it flew by where he was perched.

How many alligators are there in he pond? Two or Three?
