Nature Out on a walk, Pt 1

Out on a walk, Pt 1 · 05:56 PM

A few non-floral things that caught my interest on my most recent hike this past weekend. 16.5 miles, and I didn't see a single bear.

K-30 and Vivitar 75-205/3.8.

Eastern Tailed Blue?

Parts of the state forest are known for the Rattlesnake population

Big dog?

Colorful fungi

The Damselfly images are not as sharp as I'd like, but I still liked the scenes.

I didn't see any turtles on my hike Saturday, but this photogenic Green Frog will do. It stayed still until I got this photo. Unusual.

A dog named Samson doing his thing Saturday. No fish were harmed in the making of this image.

Thanks Dave. It was indeed great exercise, and I always enjoy finding new things to see in the woods.

wonderful variety of photos here, you say 16 miles is a hike, I would call that an overnight opportunity for these old bones. Thanks for sharing with us, enjoyed all of the views.

That shows it pays to take your camera on a walk.

Thanks Bob. I'm no Spring Chicken, but hiking is a real passion for me.

Thanks Jerry. I was surprised the frog stayed around while I snapped a few frames. The dog was hilarious to watch as he tried and failed to catch a fish.

My dogs used to fish in the creek, they caught stuff out of there all the time, that pic reminded me of it. Thanks

Thanks guys. This particular dog tried several times while I was watching, but never caught anything.

That must have been a good walk Tom and you do have the pictures to prove it.

Thanks Heinrich, it was indeed a great walk. I have another scheduled for this week. While you're here, I owe you an apology. On one of your Waterton threads, I called you Hans, mistaking you for someone else on PF. I hope you didn't take offense.
