Last weekend, son Logan and I went for a little hike at Tulsa’s Oxley Nature Center. I was hopeful that we would view some deer or other animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oxley has a diverse combination of meadows, marshlands, forests, creeks, and lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An old highway running through the refuge used to be US 169 the main route from the north to downtown Tulsa. It is now part of the trail system at Oxley. It is kind of handy after it has rained and the dirt trails are muddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We took some back country trails. We didn’t see any deer the whole time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And we went out to the lakes and creeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makes for pretty scenes. There was not hardly anybody else out there even though it was a weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG_2899\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We finally some waterfowl. I think these are geese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG_2898\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure what these are, sorry for the fuzzy photo. iNaturlist said “Ducks, Geese and Swans.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"IMG_2897\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another fuzzy photo. Too fuzzy for iNaturalist to do much with. It guessed “Wigeons and Allies.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pretty good little walkaround on a nice day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\"<\/a>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our Pomeranian puppy, Kodi taking a nap in his toy box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And my wife with Kodi. He’s a lot of fun but he is a handful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
