Nebraska Ain't Bad

This is just a quick post to keep some sort of online pulse going. I can't say I've been overly busy, but I have been active. Several weekend trips to wedding receptions, family reunions, campgrounds, and farms across eastern Nebraska have brought me to the conclusion that despite my itch to travel far and wide, this place is wonderful for staying.

More to come.

Platte River State Park

This being an eclectic blog, I figured I'd start posting to occasional random photo set that comes out of my camera.

Last weekend my girlfriend and I headed down to Platte River State Park, a delightful little network of hiking trails along the Platte River, south of Omaha.


It didn't take long to find the local fauna. My girlfriend caught a toad, obviously. The toad was understandably upset, and she got peed on as a result.


Some kind of butterfly minding its own business.



My favorite: we saw four deer in all (all does). Perhaps its the same in other places, but personally I've never lived in a place where the deer are so tame as they are in the Omaha area. I was in a state park, but honestly, I might have gotten this shot a block from my home in the city. The deer in this state have very little fear of people. Its kind of nice.
