The Furious Spinner

How was your weekend? I was sick most of mine, so I spent it on my couch; I'm on the mend, I believe, knock on a freakin' forest. Read some good books, saw some strange movies. Not going to be more specific since it's past my bed time. Took some pics on our first hike in a couple of weeks this morning, at Falling Creek. We usually don't go on Sunday. One of the big city newspapers put Falling Creek on its front page again, so the woods were full of touristas. They've done this twice now. If it happens a third time I might just have to talk to them boys about it. Remind them this here is the west and we don't like strangers on our land. (That's would all be said in a western accent, of course.) After the twentieth or so person passed us on the trail, Mario said, "I thought people didn't read newspapers anymore."

This was taken through the windshield on the way to the trailhead.


Wild Rose. Mario really liked the detail on this photo.


Salal. Mario took this. Isn't it great? The detail is incredible. He thinks he used a flash on this one.

Leaves. I should know what this is, but my brain can't quite capture the information. Mario liked the detail on this one, too, so here it is.


I liked the light and shadow on this.


Giants.


Fallen Giant. OK, maybe a medium giant. All the rain has caused this tree to topple and the hillside is sliding. On the other side of the bridge, the trail continues to the falls, but the battery on the camera went dead. No falls photos today. A waterfall runs below this bridge. It's usually dry at this time of year. Actually it was dry in March.


Several of your liked the White Leaves, so here's White Leaves 2. It looks good on the desktop, too. You can just drag it (or any of the photos) to your desktop and then go to your system preferences and add it to your desktop if you want to see what it looks like. (At least on a Mac; don't know how to do that on a PC.)

Beautiful photos! You both have an excellent eye for composition and detail. I especially like the wild rose photo.
