Boze Mill

SpringsOn our last day, we camped at a camp called Boze Mill.

The camp was named after a mill that was there a long time ago. The remains of the mill can be seen after a short walk.  If you go a little further you can see the spring where all the water comes from.  The walk is very pretty but you NEED TO BRING BUG SPRAY!!!!! There are 4 types of ticks and all of them are very VERY common.

Even though we found more ticks that day then we found snakes the rest of the week, we had a good day and also had fun taking pictures of the mill and the very blue spring.

Red Tailed Hawk

Hawk flyingThe other day while doing school work, I noticed a hawk sitting in a tree. I thought that it would be neat to get a picture of it. As I was coming around the house with the camera so I would not scare it, I saw the hawk flying up with a squirrel in its claws. I followed it down the road for a little bit and got some pictures of it.

Flying hawkWhile I was watching, another hawk flew down and they started fighting over the squirrel. They flew into the woods and I couldn’t see   them fight much. They would occasionally scream though. Then I saw the loser fly away before I went back to school.
