My Photographic Forest Adventure

[gulfan]

Yesterday (April 28), my dog Lilly and I went up for a hike in the mountains behind Cumberland.


The first picture here is the trail we walked up. The perspective is way off, but it’s pretty steep.



Here’s a picture of the adorable mutt, which could take on a subterranean beast any day. Watch out Dr. Peelu!


The forest can smell pretty bad when this skunk cabbage heats up.



Rumour has it that a hobo built this shack many years ago during the great battle of cheese. He still lives in it today, but I think that it’s a chlorination treatment building for the village water.



Here’s my adorable mutt chasing after a possible subterranean beast.




These few pictures show Courtenay, Comox and in the distance Powell River. My camera isn’t very great so it doesn’t pick up all the detail but it’s a great view for a short hike.


Most of the area is clear-cut.


We found a decent sized swamp in the distance so we headed towards it.


Swimming time!



Here’s the adorable mutt drying off. Soon after I took this picture I tripped over a few logs and sprained and cut my ankle nicely. The journey would have to end soon.



No matter where you are, the view is great! Here are some mountains.



When I was heading back I noticed all these rocks piled up on the side of the road. I wasn’t really too sure what to make of it until I got closer I noticed that there was money in it. I’m not really too sure what to think of it – maybe a cheap geo-cache or some kind of booby-trap. None the less, I left it as-is and kept going.



Here’s a dandelion that I tried to do a close-up of. It looks decent in the high-res version.



This one looks good with the bugs on it.

And that’s it. I’m hopeful to go back out again today and see what I can find.
