   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi All</span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Yesterday when coming back from canoeing a small stream<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I came upon a downed tree that looked like a good seat.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">So I set the canoe down, got out a drink and relaxed.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">That is the surest way to see something interesting, in my opinion<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">anyway and I looked down and a pretty golden olive caterpillar<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">was walking near my feet. It had a black shiny head and half<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">a dozen black spikes on its back. American Dagger Moth is the<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">nearest I can come up with in my book. It must overwinter somehow.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The stream was interesting, the water low but passable, the trout beautiful<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">in their fall colors, The Golden Shiners plain this time of year<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">but always ready to snap a fly!<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Interesting birds was a Sora Rail - it fly up beside the water and&#160; looked<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">like it could hardly make it over the grass. It soon flopped down. How it hopes<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">to go South flying like that is a wonder. a Hood Merganser, a female just molted<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">not able to fly went ahead of me in the stream. Must have nested nearby. <br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Lots of hollow trees in the area. A Palm Warbler came to see me. Flirted<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">around the bushes next to me.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">A great day!<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy the fall!<br/></span>
