River Rats

Yesterday Mama Wordbones and I sought a brief respite from the record breaking heat in the waters of the Patapsco River. The river is about a mile from our front door and its tree lined banks seemed a better cooling option than our shade deprived neighborhood pool.

As any regular reader of this blog knows I am a big fan of the river and the state park on HoCo’s northern border.

There were lots of great scenes along the river such as this heron who seemed to actually enjoy having his picture taken.

The best scene though was this pile of garbage that had obviously been collected earlier by other visitors to the river. Whenever I see something like this it totally restores my faith in people. A wag of the wordbones tail to all those who leave the river cleaner than they found it.

Nicely done.
