This is the second picture I am posting today of my recent trip of the Wolf Creek Lake area. This picture of a big buck Elk was taken on a pasture where an old historical mansion stands, about eight miles south of Perryton, Texas. It is not part of the Wolf Creek Park area, but it is close to it. I painted the old landmark mansion about three years ago as you will see at the bottom of the Elk picture. The 12 point Elk is lying down and you can see part of the old mansion. Several elk are enclosed in this pasture owned by a private individual. They have been pasturing there for several years. The Elk attraction is an interesting place for many people traveling on highway 83 to stop at view. Most of the time the elk are close to the highway. I took this picture last Sunday October 8 2017 while traveling to our, close by, Wolf Creek Park area to watch a lot of other wild life roaming around before bedding down for the night. Some of those pictures will be posted each day for awhile. I guess this is the month I am suppose to share with you some of God’s wonderful nature I am privileged to live near.
As I mentioned on my blog yesterday two friends picked me up last Sunday evening to take a cruse down to our near-by hilly, and small mountainous area to view the wild life that have been living there for many years. Wolf Creek runs through this beautiful hill, and tree, forest-like land, and creates a perfect home for many different wild life. Late in the evening is when it’s most likely to see a lot of these inhabiters slowly engaging in bedding down for the night. It is an most interesting sight to watch. After driving for several minutes through the landscaping of this large wild life area, we drove to the lake part of the park. The water on the lake was a sparkling white, wavy, picture enhanced by the low setting of the sun. The black frame around the lake gave it a special beauty of calmness. Several campers were enjoying this beautiful, natural spot of God’s creation. The three of us was pleased to return home with a spirit of thankfulness for God’s blessings to us. The memories will linger on for some time, erasing many old memories that are not so good. I also thank God for my friends who are so good to me. I look forward everyday to chilling with my friends, and making new ones. We all need each other to trod the paths of this dangerous world we live in. It is an absolute must to share in friendship with others. Happiness cannot be stolen from us when we band together to share our joys and concerns. Our spirits will be lifted up when we hear the words. “ stay positive. God is with you, and I will call your name to Him every day you are in need of healing.”
God Bless
