"My daily hike, and Faery nests too!"


These pictures were all taken on July 31st, '08, as a sample of my hike during this time of the year.
For a better look, clicking the pic brings up a larger one.

Starting down the trail, I spot these seeds hanging over, a potential faery hangout.
Dipper birds let out a warning when dogs or humans are near...
The path I take winds along an old 49er ditch, created to supply water to wash out the gold.
Ah, and here's a faery nest. Otherwise known as "Queen Anne's Lace," you can see how it makes a great place for fae.
 
Some fronds along the water...
 
A wide spot in Deer Creek (seperate from the earlier ditch) lets the waters calm and make for a nice reflecting pool.
A leaf floats upon the calm water.
This wall was constructed by the 49ers to create the ditch seen earlier.
 
Approaching a hidden nook where I like to write, read, or just hang out.
               
The reflecting pool matched with sky above.
My secret nook, where I sit upon the rock beneath that small tree growing out of a cleft in the boulder.
Looking out from my perch, I've a small waterfall to the left...
...and the reflecting pool in front.
To the right I have this rocky wall. If you can see this in stereo, you're in for a real treat!
Trees along the ditch.
Looking back at my nook, in stereo.
 
A faery boarding spot.
The reflecting pool, awesome in stereo!
Walking back along the path, a lowering sun illuminates the leaves.
 
The leaves a bit closer, full of depth in stereo.
 
Looking up the trunk of a tree, arching upwards through the foliage.
Grasses hang over the 49er wall.
 
Seed fluffs in stereo.
A turkey vulture circles above.
You can almost see the impression made by the faery in this nest.
 
This shows a progression from "faerie's nest" to open lacework.
 
As the sun dropped, I couldn't resist this shot through some curly seed fluffs.
Here the fluffs without the stereo.
