Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
A few of us from the photography group went to the launch of the Friday morning local balloon event. The main event, the Helen to the Atlantic race was launched the previous morning, this was just as much fun. This being my first ever…
Did both the scouting hike and lead the actual hike for the Hearthstone Hikers. On the scouting trip, I hauled my light tripod since I anticipated shooting the waterfalls. On the later hike I left that home so as not to delay the group….
A few from the native plant garden and one from a hike along Big Creek.
The first blooms are fading, but more will follow. These are the most recent, and quite possibly the last, of the first bloom. Some flowers in my yard, but several are from various trails I hiked during late April and early May.
