Between that stump and the trail lay DEATH ENCOUNTER, no. 7--a great scattering of crawfish shells and bits; undoubtedly leftovers from a raccoon's or a crow's repast:



Final DEATH ENCOUNTER--dead butterfly caught in a web on the railing beneath 104th:

The lake, on the way back to the car:



What an awesome day. >:-)
