The Maury River

A few more shots from a couple weekends ago.

 

Although you can't see in the shot above, a lot of rocks in and around the river were still covered with snow and ice. The river is shallow, but very cold - so you don't want to slip into it. To get a lot of my shots, I went about a third of the way across the river, jumping from rock to rock until I found a good perch for the tripod.

 

I have to admit, I am a *great* rock scrambler. I can nimbly climb and hop from perch to perch, even when carrying lots of gear. My husband, on the other hand, is too ambitious for his own good. He tries to take short-cuts to cross the water faster. Guess who ended up *in* the river? (hint: it wasn't me!) Although, I did cut myself up climbing through thorny thickets and bruise my shins crossing a big pointy rock. But at least I didn't get wet!
