Yesterday we got a chance to visit a trail we have heard about from a friend many times and seen some pretty cool photos as well. The weather has always been the kicker so myself and the boys were excited to get a chance to explore here.
I have posted a lot of pictures because I had a hard time choosing what with such wonderful new life on the forest floor and other places!
It was quite a steep trek up but the sound of the rushing water made us want to make it to the top!
Xman was enjoying poking at the soapy froth – it was pretty cool, I have to say.
Here is a bit of it dried up on a stick overhanging the water. So glad that I brought my macro lens along! My camera bag was heavy but it was worth it – and a good workout up the hill. 🙂
A miniature first filled with a life of its own! The boys love seeing the evidence of beetles.
It’s not often I get a photo of myself with my boys! Thanks, Dawn! 😉
The walk down was somewhat tricky in spots but hand-holding made it that much easier.
I just love the little fiddleheads!
Dawn spotted this spotted gall – she has an eye for them – and the oaks. 😉
…and this wing…from a June beetle. Poor dude.
Love the droplets!
This guy was superbusy and supertiny! and just would not take the time to pose for a portrait.
Puddles do not ever go unnoticed – so fun!
It’s a whole other world out there that amazes me in so, so many ways. Great beauty and wonder.
I just recently checked out this book from the library. I love love love moss. Can’t wait to read it!
It was so great having you guys! You got some great shots! I totally forgot I even grabbed your camera to get that one of you and the boys. Nice!
We will have to make the trek to the big creek next time!
Let me know what you think of the book. I started it but did not get a chance to finish before I had to return it.

I’d love to go to the big creek – anywhere really! I hope to get the book done before it goes back as I was on a long waiting list. 🙂
Lovely pic of you and your boys. Look like a beautiful spot to explore. Stunning photos.
Looks like a fantastic place to explore! Great photos–and I have the same issue with no pictures of me with my kids (or me at all!! I’m always the one behind the camera).
the magic and beauty in the details of magnificent place. thank you for sharing, we love the green.
Green is good. 🙂 xx
