An Autumn Wander

[Shewie]

It was good, but looooong and hot with one long stretch of 35 straight days of over 100 degree heat indexes. I am glad to see autumn arrive!!

Very nice

How was your summer over there?

Wet






and windy

Good to hear it's getting some use! There may be another parcel in the post in a few days...........

Yeah...not exactly what I was thinking several times out doing shoots in the sun when the heat indexes hit 114 and i was causing a waterfall of sweat to pour over my SLR lol.

Oh, I would have sooooo gladly traded a few times

Yep, it's been riding my belt a lot lately and in a shoulder bag when I've been out testing out another knife for a piece I'm writing. Definitely loving the knife mate.

Hmmm, now I am intrigued, but I think maybe I know what it is

Wait and see!

They are fantastic pictures. What kind of camera/lense did you take those with?

That looks lovely, we're having a less than spectacular autumn so far over here. That Poplar wood looks perfect for hammocking in.

Cheers, Michael.

Well...Christmas isn't far off

Thank you. It is a Nikon D3000 and a 55-200mm. The lens I want is an 18-200mm that I can get even closer with but it costs almost $1,000.00 dollars...so I am having to save up for it.

Ours is being much dryer than usual. This is great for photography but rough on those who have bad allergies because of all of the different types of pollen popping out right now.

Well, it's not exactly an authorized camping area...but I'm thinking that applies to "car-camping", not "primitive" camping which is allowed on almost all of the trails...and those are my thoughts exactly! There is a little corner where the Poplar wood comes to a sort of a point that protrudes into a heavier wooded area that is protected from view of the road as well as most heavier winds by a rise in the land a walls of heavier tree line. There are two older trees in that point that are about 50cm in diameter and about 5 or 6 meters apart that would be perfect for setting up a hammock and tarp. Now all I need to do is find a tarp that will handle my body. I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall or roughly 188cm and I weigh 275 pounds or roughly 125kg.
