A typical scene on the way up. Notice that the person taking the photo (wonder who that might be) is way out in front of the rest of the group. |

There's a great view from the summit, but Victor has his priorities. |
|
|
OK, so maybe Victor's not the only one resting. But at least the others have their eyes open. |

On the way down, I spotted this Trillium flower behind a rock (if any park rangers ask, I was enriching the soil's nitrate content, not wandering off-trail). It's not such a rare flower, but it was a good chance to play with my camera's extreme-close-up feature. |

Same flower again; at this angle you can see the stem. |

OK, look closely... see that rock right in the middle? Notice how it's kinda blurry? That's because it's actually a wild turkey hopping over the wall. I guess you'll have to trust me on this one. This photo taught me that there's one problem with auto-everything digital cameras: shutter speed. A half-second before, when I pressed the button, the turkey was perched at the top of the wall with its wings spread. |
