Sense of touch
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Sense of Touching: This week you can post anything that stimulates or delights your sense of touch. It can be thorns on a rose, a soft baby’s face or tree bark. Be creative and have fun. Most of all I hope you have fun.
Sweetwater shelter
I’d been hiking north for more than an hour, and the day was getting pretty warm. In fact, the sun was high overhead, and my stomach was telling me it was time to take a break and eat my sandwich and drink some cool water.

Change of focus
I like the image above because, as well as offering a scenic look at Folsom Lake near Salmon Falls, it shows the contrast between trees at the beginning of their life, in their prime, and at the very end.

The only thing I enjoy more than capturing the big scenic shots with my camera is finding the extra little bonus details. That’s what makes the beauty of nature really come alive for me.
Outdoor ways to move up or down

From the heights to the creek
I spent half the day hiking along the South Fork of the American River near Salmon Falls, and there’s so much to see and explore that I still feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. The water level has risen since our last visit, so I missed out on seeing the old Salmon Falls bridge that pops out of the […]
Sense of seeing
The theme for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Sense of Seeing. I never know what I might see while I’m out hiking at Folsom Lake. It might be a forgotten book on a lonely picnic table — or it might be a couple of very colorful little birds gazing down at me from the trees.
