Appalachian Trail, between Bull's Bridge and Kent, Connecticut.
We hiked Schaghticoke Ridge yesterday to remove two trees (blowdowns) that had fallen across the trail. My next piece of work will be to re-blaze the inner section of this ridge (3 miles) . AT blazes are white paint, 2" wide by 6" tall.
This brook was completely dry most of this past winter which is unusual, it's usually the source of lots of ice photography. Because we've had such a weird winter with little rain, there is an abundance of leaves everywhere: on the trail and in streams. I shot about ten reflection images from different vantage points in two pools on this stream and while I'd usually attempt to just catch the surface (pure trees) it seemed like it might be nice to get leaves in the shot which give the reflection another dimension.
I have to say, all of my images taken this day with the Fuji X70 turned out extremely well. I like the richness of the Fuji files and I'm shooting JPEG only as I don't have a RAW converter yet for the camera. The camera's controls, like the Ricoh GR's are completely useable with thin gloves on and it feels like a very well made, sturdy tool in my hands.

Another shot of the mysterious Ohingaiti Boulders : these ones look like eggs with trees growing out of them... I can't find out much about them but apparently they are septerian concretions created over thousands of years under the sea. During the years undersea, these perfectly rounded boulders were probably slowly formed while been whisked around on the sea-floor with sea-shells, which dissolved and supplied minerals which hardened the surrounding material, created much like pearls are.
I know that the Maori consider the Moeraki Boulders ( very similar septerian concretions on the South Island coast) to be food containers. In Maori tradition these rocks are gourds and calabashes - traditional Maori food containers - washed ashore a thousand years ago when the great ocean going waka Araiteuru was wrecked on landfall...
But these ones are on the high central plateau of the North Island at the top off some cliffs, about as far away from the sea as you can get in New Zealand.

This is a close-up of the massive trunk of the hundreds of years-old pecan tree that continues to thrive between our pavillion and the bank of the beautiful spring-fed Cypress Creek in Wimberley, Texas. Many other young and ancient trees of other varieties thrive in this environment.
This one tree stretches for ten sections of the fencing. I'm not sure if the sections are eight or ten feet each, but either way, this tree sure has a very broad canopy!
A Friend of ours took these pics, I thought they were Awesome!!! The Tree has grown right through the bike!!
A layer of fog and the rising sun come together behind this tree in a floodplain forest in Goose Island Park, La Crosse County, Wisconsin.

Had the privilege of witnessing a rare phenomenon in our own back garden last Bank Holiday Monday!
Our garden birds suddenly gone quiet and disappeared in a flash!!!
Then, out of nowhere, a massive swarm of honey bees descended from the sky onto one of our pine tree in the back garden! Within a matter of minutes, a large mass of bees was formed and occupied one of the top branch and the truncate of the tree. The noise was unbelievable! it sounded just like watching motorcycles circuit racing event from a distance!
The swarm settled and stayed for few hours before taking off to the sky again and left!
I managed just a few shots of them from a distance.
Freightliner 66 618 with 6M22 Hunslet Tilcon to Tunstead Siding at Paddock in Huddersfield. This working is the empty working which conveys Cement from Tunstead Sidings to Hunslet Tilcon near Leeds in JGA wagons. Paddock church can be seen in the background. This is one of the few daylight freight workings on the Huddersfield North Pennine route, in fact it was today's only freight in the daytime.
