Friday Afternoon Salado Saunter

Salado Creek Greenway, Robert Tobin Park Trailhead downstream
Today's photos:
As I began walking along the trail today, it was looking like this would be another walk dominated by wildflowers and butterflies. And there certainly is nothing wrong with that. But I have learned to expect the unexpected.
The very large white-tailed buck was quite unexpected as I rounded a bend in the trail. I don't think he was expecting to see me either. White-tailed deer are very plentiful in the upper Salado Creek watershed, so it was not a complete surprise, but this is the first time I have encountered one this far downstream.

Feeling A Lot Like Summer

Salado Creek Greenway, Robert Tobin Park Trailhead, south
Today's photos:
The summer solstice is still two weeks away, but it has been feeling a lot like summer here in South Texas for a while now. During my walk today the temperature was in the low 90s (F) and the dew point in the 60's. In other words, it was hot and humid.
That is merely a statement of fact, not a complaint. It is actually normal for this time of year. The hot, humid weather is the last thing on my mind, especially when I am greeted at the trailhead by a cardinal and then have a red-shouldered hawk fly over further along the trail.

Salado Creek Greenway, Robert Tobin Park Trailhead, North to Lady Bird Johnson Park (and Back)
Today's photos:
The first time I started a walk from the Robert Tobin Park trailhead on Monday, May 23, the trail under Loop 410 connecting to the trail south from Lady Bird Johnson Park was still under construction. That connection has been complete for a while.
My schedule today was a bit more hectic than usual for a Monday, so an afternoon walk close to home turned out to be the best option. Today I took advantage of the new connection and walked north from Robert Tobin Park. While the creek does not have a continuous flow of water at the moment, there are more pools throughout the creek bed than on any of my previous walks along Salado Creek.
Once again, the photos tell their own story.
