Take a hike!

Last month, SuperDad chose a hike for our Valentines Day date.

SnakeMaster joyfully accompanied us.

I love the shadows created by these saplings

and the rich layers of green lichen on these rocks.

I know I annoyed SuperDad with my constant halting on the trail to take photos, but at least there were worthwhile places for him to stop and gaze around.

Water finds routes to trickle down the mountainside

This log nourishes fungus

A lone leaf clings to a tree

My camera was fascinated by the colors in the rocks.

My boots stopped here

Like father, like son

All in all, it was a lovely date with terrific views

And I know SnakeMaster wants to go back soon!
