This morning the dog and I made our way down to the culvert to see what has shown up there today. When we arrived we found the eels were there. I posted a photo I took this morning showing one of the eels having his breakfast. They are eating the algae growing on the bottom of the culvert. We found 3 of these eels eating together this morning. The one I photographed is about 18 inches long and their color is a gray-red-blue mixture. They appear very slippery. I would not know if they were because I can't bring myself to pick one up. They are not aggressive at all and can be handled with a stick. In the past I have seen as many as twelve grouped together in the culvert. The morning was cool and humid but there was no rain during our walk. I saw what appeared to be fog yesterday early in the morning which can sometimes indicate a change in the weather pattern is in the offing. Many folks here are ready for some dryer days. I will take the weather as it comes and make the best of it.
I hope my writing about what I see is encouraging you to look at your surroundings while you walk. Let me know what you see in the comments or email and I will respond. If you are not able to walk and have some questions about the area where I walk please ask and I will respond. Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I hope your day will be a good one. Bye
