Twilight
The Big Dipper
Venus bright through the clouds
Venus
Jaking watching the bank at dawn
The entrance to a derelict portal
Followed a coyote trail
Led us to a derelict portal
Overgrown and littered with downed trees
Unwelcome guest broke limbs, snapped twigs
Crawled under and over felled trees
Conquered the chaos, made it to the river
Was what we saw worth the fight?
The view after we emerged from the derelict portal
Jake was stumped

The prickly pear washed away, the tree holding on by a large taproot.
Contrails at sunrise
I got home very late tonight
A ghost in the clouds
The portal sure led to amazing views!
It did. My walk map going through the portal showed mostly red, because I was moving slowly while fighting the foliage. Thanks, Brad.

at the end of a derelict portal?!
My mother always warned me to
never follow a coyote (or dingo)
trail 🐾 👣 But much like you,
Timothy, I’d never listen 😎
