Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
These pictures are from late March and early April 2019, and I will update this post as the bloom continues during the rest of April and into May. The pictures are presented in the reverse order of being shot. Many of the pictures are…
A good hike with the Hearthstone Hikers. We did about 3 miles out and then three miles back, all before lunch. 🙂 Not a lot to photograph, particularly without a tripod or filters (due to a broken lens being repaired.) But ya play the…
Two of us Sonny Day Hikers trekked from the north end to the fish hatchery at the south end of the trail and back. No photos on the outbound leg, but a number of them on the return leg. Exposures were tricky due to…
