It's starting to get a little old, but we moved once again! 

We already knew upon arrival that we had to move to another spot for a couple of weeks in October, since they had some very busy weekends coming up, so last week we picked up once again and moved the whole shebang over to site H 8.

Well, that is, we had ourselves moved buy a nice guy here at the campground, since the truck ... yes, you got that right ... is still down! %$#@&! (and than some)

Anywho, not a bad spot again, as you can see, and I might actually like it even better than the previous one, since we have a clear view of the lake this time!

There we are, nice and roomy, and under the shelter of a few humongous pines this time.

Looking through the back window it almost looks like we're on a houseboat ...

Love it!

Now we can (almost) see the sun set in the Bayou:

Merlin likes to sit on a little rise at the shore, watching the turtles pop their little heads up to the surface ...

This site of the campground is very quiet and a little pathway brings you right to the river. I love to walk here in the mornings and look for birds.

Some of the birds that migrated north for the summer, have come back, like this little House Wren. On my bird-clock, he's the 6 o'clock one, so it's kind of funny to hear him at all hours 'in the wild'.

And finally I got some better shots of the cardinals:

           

I love red birds, they're so flashy ... and he knows it too!

The lake is getting a little cooler, and the turtles are out sunning all through the afternoon:

I like this one, as he's having both back legs stretched out and elevated ...

And I had a first encounter with a snake here on the grounds:

Not only was he (she?) my first snake here, but it was also my first Copperhead! And I like to keep it that way!

They're pretty lethargic, but highly poisonous, and may strike 

vigorously when feeling threatened!
(I guess there's no paradise without one ....)

Now last weekend was our 'big' Halloween weekend here, and I have a whole bunch of pictures, but I think I'll start a new post for those, this post is long enough as it is.
OK, one more pic than (to forget the snake) ... Merlin likes to help me spin sometimes, although he doesn't like the bobbing up and down for too long, before he'll find a quieter spot to sit ...

You can see the yarn fits right between his ears (although it's a little difficult to see since he's white) ...
