Many times I will go visit the same areas to take pictures.

There might be something new or something I may have missed.

My favorite time to go is early in the morning, before the sun begins to rise. Being alone and surround by nature is very tranquil. It feels like the place is undisturbed and I will see little mice, squirrels, deer, fox, and coyotes roaming around. I make sure to slow down my pace when I walk around so I don't disturb the animals here. If they spot me, I remain perfectly still to not frighten them. They watch me for some time and then just go about their business.

The amount of waste I come across really bothers me though. Empty glass and plastic bottles thrown in the tall grass or floating with debris in the lake. Papers, plastic bags, and empty containers left in the woods. People will bring all these things to have a picnic, enjoy a walk, or a have a little gathering and do not clean up after themselves. It's much easier for them to leave their garbage here than have to deal with it.
