Hiking pics

[elgecko]

Here are some pics from my hike in Ricketts Glen.

The main hike.

Some waterfalls. I took pics of almost every waterfall. This is a small sampler.

Some other life.

Some plants.

I'm glad the site that has D. intermedia and some kind of aquatic bladderwort is still doing well.

Very nice! Great shots with great subject matter. What camera are you using? (Sorry, you've probably asnwered this about a billion times.)

Amazing pictures. I can't believe some of those shots you found (i.e. the dragonfly). You should work for National Geographic or something!

The waterfalls are beautiful. On the first topographical picture, did you add the lines for the trail you hiked or did some computer program map it out?

xvart.

Thanks for the comments.

Est,
The camera is a Sony Alpha. All the pics posted were taken with a Sony 18-70 zoom lens.


xvart,
I used my GPS to get the trail I hiked. I did have to fix it up some. When I got deeper into the canyon I had poor satellite reception and it lost reception from time to time.

Whoo. I've gotten lost in the woods twice and it's SCARY! Especially when you start to have trouble breathing because you panic. I remember wishing I had a GPS.

I still can't believe that places like that exist in PA. I can't wait to go and see some of them myself.

Wow, wow, wow!!! You always take such awesome pics! And I agree with xvart, you need to work for National Geographic! Good job! It looks so beautiful there!
