Wise Een Tarn, Sawrey, in the English Lake District. Local Sawrey author Beatrix Potter regularly set up her easel here to paint the hills and backgrounds to her animal pictures for her books.

A squirrel came from behind and grabbed the owlets tale feathers. It caught the owlet by surprise and it fell down a few branches catching itself. Later it worked its way up again. Mom slept through the whole event.
Wise Old Oak. Something you don't see very often while out hiking. How wise is the Oak? you have to go and see it and find out for yourself.
On a memorable trip to Altoona & Pittsburgh, I was able to convince the Chief and Trainboy to spend a day between Crawfordsville and LaFayette, IN instead of an extra day at Pittsburgh. We started this morning successfully around the URR before begrudgingly pulling the plug and highballing east. We rolled into Crawfordsville at the same time as CSXT 6433 South and I knew a spot. This was just an appetizer for the next day's main course.

"Ahhhhhhemmmmm??" a deep rumble shattered the peaceful solitude in the forest,"Young fellow, what are you doing?"
"Oh you startled me... errr, hello Mr Oak!" I turned on my side to see the old face looking at me.
"Mister Oak?, oh no, I am not a Mister Oak, they call me the Wise Oak in these here parts" he said in that deep rumbling voice.
"I do apologise, Wise Oak" I replied respectfully looking up at that giant ridged face.
"Mmmmm, i've seen some strange things in my time, many changes, but nothing like what you are doing lying down on the leaf litter there?" he pondered.
"Ohh, I was only taking some pictures!" I replied
"Taking some pictures, and where are you taking them to?" he asked
"I'm not taking them anywhere yet, I just took some pictures of the fungi" i got up and dusted myself down and put the lens cap on.
"Mmmm, yesss well, I've have been here for over four hundred years...sigggghhhh... and I have seen and heard lots of things"
"I'm sure you have" I looked at him with even greater respect
"Mmmm, yessss, well I remember when they used to cut all the branches off of my Hornbeam friends, used to let lots of light into the forest, that was only about a hundred and fifty years ago"
"Thats called pollarding" I replied
"One hell of a haircut, I thought" he said and let out a jolly laugh, his branches shook and a shower of tired leaves fell.
"Yes, they used to harvest the wood and graze the animals here"
"Yes, thats right, I remember, sadly, a lot of my Hornbeam companions have fallen over now, they just got too heavy from not having a regular haircut"
"Yes, I have noticed, quite a few have split apart"
"Pheww, ohh, I saw that happen many times, so painful, some good friends I lost there" his eyes showed the pain and sorrow.
"I'm sorry"
"Yes, well I think I'll have alittle sleep now" he replied with a gaping yawn
"Well Wise Oak, have a nice rest, I'm sure you will live another four hundred years or more and see more strangers taking pictures, goodbye for now"
"Goodbye young fellow" and as he closed his eyes I took one last shot and then walked off into the distance leaving Wise Oak in a deep slumber....
The trains always arrive at your station. The question is which one to take?

She is a very beautiful old cow.
I am learning to take notice of her bellows because it usually means something isn't right and not just with the cows in her own paddock but she notices things is the other paddocks away from her.
Wise Lake offers a good destination if you'd like a sample of the Congaree Wilderness. Congress designated the Congaree Wilderness in the Congaree Swamp National Monument Expansion and Wilderness Act of 1988; the Congaree Swamp did not become Congaree National Park until 2003.
The Eastern Wilderness Act of 1975 allows "restored" wilderness areas east of the Mississippi, in contrast to the Wilderness Act of 1964. The Congaree has a mix of old-growth and second-growth forest. (The water tupelo across the lake may be "original" or may have succeeded a bald cypress cut.)
