Exploring Shoal Creek

Published by Evelyn at 9:14 pm under Austin,Evelyn's Adventures

We live not that far away from Shoal Creek and it usually takes us walking about five to ten minutes to get there.  One day I brought my camera and took some pictures of Ron exploring the Shoal Creek. 

Normally we walk along Shoal Creek on the sidewalks or trials near the creek but this time Ron saw an opening just past the last house before the park area starts. 

He approached the opening and started to clime down.  It was a narrow path and at first it seemed difficult to get to the bottom but Ron went on.  Here’s some pictures:
1) Ron starts on the path down to Shoal Creek  2) Ron carefully continues path.  3) Ron is almost near the bottom of the path.  4) Ron makes it A-okay 
Ron starts  down on the path to Shoal Creek (1), he continues (2), almost there (3) and he’s a-okay (4).
5)Ron takes a break and looks over the creek.  6)  Ron Zig  7) Ron Zaging
So, he decided to take a little break (5).  Funny he’s hutched over like the Batman in Batman Begins. Jejeje…

Now he is working his way down to the floor of the creek and stops at the foot of the path to figure out which way to go further down.  We zigged (6) zagged (7) here and there and finally we made it to creek floor (8) at which point I took this wonderful picture (9).  I like these photos very much because of it’s close ups and angles.

There was a bit of work to get there but once at the bottom we stood there listening to the birds singing, the water running and feeling the gentle breeze.  I say it was well worth the effort and it gave me yet another chance to take pictures. Enjoy Everyone. ~Evelyn
