Labor day hike
We took a hike along with three other families yesterday to Switzer Falls. It was great, probably 10 kids in all, hiking along the creek and up over a 100 foot ridge (a little scary). At the end of the trail is a small waterfall that empties into a pool. We had lunch and a little swim. I did some hasty sketching.
There was a big, fallen tree leaning against the rock wall near the falls. The highlight of the hike came during the walk back. There was a three-foot rattlesnake that slithered off the path and into the stream! I've never actually seen one outside of the zoo.

beautiful lines and your sense of composition is so good! terrific moments you're captured!
I like these a lot, too. Especially like the tilt you used in the bottom one. And, hey...You should have caught that rattler to show the kids that "them-thar snakes is good eatin'"! Rattlesnake meat...Yum.
Funny coincidence... I was hiking with my husband on the same day - but in New Jersey - and saw a rattlesnake in the wild for the first time.

(It looks like we were poking him with that stick, but it was just laying there)
I do love looking at your blog, by the way.
