I have to say that it's been very nice hiking recently without carrying any camera gear. Of course actually having something worthwhile to shoot makes carrying the gear worthwhile. I haven't shot any pictures in months so I'm sure that my technique leaves some room for improvement.

Jim Stiles and I visited Proxy Falls today. It's nice to be able to show off a place as though I'm a local.

And this shot? Sometimes I can even appreciate man made spots in the forest. This particular place is a wheelchair ramp quite close to a parking area. I'm glad that there are some accessible areas.
