It was a five-hour hike and I made it back alive without totally embarrassing myself and my kids, I think. Just look at the pictures, I was always the last one trying to catch up, always on the verge of losing my will to walk another step or live another day.
The inept photographer in me says: notice the purple fringing around the tree branches? I think Canon compacts or maybe most compacts have this problem when shooting directly into the sunlight. But big deal, I'll just leave it as it is. If National Geographic decides to call me, which is like never, then I will learn how to remove this purple fringing thing. For now, I just love the color purple.
Oh, we went to apple picking at the same farm this weekend. I never went hiking in Bear Mountain, only went there to watch leaves.
ReplyDeleteThe girl scouts went Apple picking I guess. And we did get some apples from them. Long story. Anyway, I am glad and mildly surprised we (mostly I) made it back.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it is already quite cold in NY.

Yes, it's cold it's nice.
ReplyDeleteWith GPS you'll never get lost. Tell you what. We still rely on the good old compass.
ReplyDeletecr even said she could pull or feed the GPS data back into Google Earth after her trek.
Vincent and I are way behind in that. We're like a pair dinosaurs having time-travelled to the 21st Century.

ReplyDeleteYou are better, I rely on sun beam to tell direction and time of the day. CR is pretty advanced in using GPS. I have yet to master the little device. Mine is for driving only not very good for hiking I suppose.
