In the fall we see a lot more deer around the grounds where we work.And that would be War Eagle Cavern.
I am looking forward to this years show and I hope anyone reading this will come see me there.
Live Deeply,
I work at a beautiful little place called War Eagle Cavern.We are only 15 miles from the city of Rogers Arkansas but when visors pull in the tree covered drive they feel like they have come into the country.Walking the paths to and from the cavern are a nature lovers dream.
As you walk around the grounds ,if you look close you can see all kinds of little crawly things.
Don't worry, he is only about 4 ins. long. I have seen him every two day for a week.Ring neck snake.
I thought this was a cool shot.Sometimes you have to look up.This week we are stating to see some color in the trees.
And of course here are some more mushrooms.I found them down by the mouth of the cavern on a old tree stump.
This is a side view.I love just walking through the woods to see what I can find.The cavers motto is "take only pictures live only footprints".
Today at work at War Eagle Cavern I had to do little cleaning around the grounds.As I was walking, I come across this old jar and pop bottle.I thought they made a great picture.
We have had so much rain this year that we have all kinds of mushrooms.I wish I knew more about them to know their names.This was a cluster of very round and puffy looking ones.
Here are some I could see from 50 feet or more.Very bright yellow.
This was a tiny,thin stemmed mushroom.It was about 1 1/2 ins.tall.
But, I think this was the coolest one I found today.I would really like to know the name of this one.It was pure white and looked like it had petals like a rose.
This little guy was hiding at the base of a tree when I was picking up sticks that had fallen from the trees in the last storm.He was so cute.
I took a few pictures and then let him go.I don't know if I can handle any more work day like today.
This is where Adam and I work.War Eagle Cavern.The pic above is of the creek that comes out of the cave By this time of year it shoud be dry, but we have had so much rain this year that we still have water running.We had rain all weekend and I'm not sure it even hit 80 today.
We love the jobs we have.Getting to be outside or in a cave all day is great.Adam get to be in the cave more than me ;( We talk to people from all over the world and have meet some great folks.One of the fun things I get to do is play in the dirt Gem stone panning.Our vistors can buy bags of dirt in the giftshop and take it outside ang pan for real gem stone and I get to help.We do a lot of school kids in the spring and I help them with their panning. They all want my job now.
