There wasn't any clouds last night, so i took the opportunity to take a set of photos and combine them all into a single photo to create a Star Trail photo.

One of the most convenient amenities for students and residents at The Waters is the Trail to Education, a path that leads directly from The Waters to the Pike Road Elementary School. The trail is accessible by foot, bike — and even golf cart. It is open year-round and offers students and parents a safe car-free route between home and school.
It’s the coolest car-pool line around!

DESCRIPTION
The four-day Inca Trail trek will reward you with a stunning combination of the Cusco’s Incan sites, mountainscapes and cloud forests. Because we run our own treks, we can ensure the fair treatment of our porters and the quality of food and equipment so that you’re free to enjoy the beauty of the region.
The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is physically challenging but worthwhile, and the excursion is within the ability of most reasonably fit.
It is a 45-km (30 miles) hike, with 3 high passes to be crossed, one of which reaches an elevation of 4200m (13776 ft). The inca trail is often steep, and it may rain even during the dry season. The temperatures at night may fall below zero, so it is important to come prepared.
This is an HDR composite of 10 shots all 30 seconds. I used Dynamic Photo, and the sky's color came out really nice.

Duncan was located on the Chisholm Trail, so Trail was a natural name for this Southwestern-Art-Deco theater on Main St. Opened in the early 1940’s and closed around 1950.
A trail alongside the river Derwent, wood hyacinths and wild garlic in flower and the sunlight filtering through the trees, makes you glad to be alive.

The free St Kilda Mangrove Trail is a good place to learn a bit about South Australia's aquatic life.
St Kilda was originally made of three low lying islands, and these were settled by fishermen by 1865. The islands were surrounded by samphire and mangrove swamp, and sea walls were built to reclaim the area into the mainland. The mangrove swamp has survived in part to the present day, and in 1984 the City of Salisbury built a board walk to allow people to walk through the mangroves to the Barker Inlet.
Mangroves are coastal trees that grow in salty water where there's lots of sediment - often in sea water that is protected from strong direct wave action. They have aerial roots which stop the trees drowning in the submerged soil. The St Kilda Mangrove Trail allows us to see the Grey Mangrove up close - the only species that grows locally in the cooler climate.
While a mangrove swamp is well known for being a haunt for mosquitoes, it is also very attractive to other forms of life. Falling leaves create a nutrient rich environment which bacteria thrive in, and become the start of a larger food chain.
Many fish such as sea mullet and barramundi breed in the muddy water that mangroves grow in. Together with crabs the fish make a tasty ready to eat street food meal for more than 200 species of birds. Snakes are also happy to prey on birds eggs - if they don't get eaten by something else first.
This rich diversity of wildlife is all on display at the free St Kilda Mangrove Trail. Pick up a key from the Tackle and Tucker Kiosk at the boat ramp, and start your own personal adventure into the murky world of the mangrove. A short walk through the gate takes you to a modern and colourful Mangrove Interpretive Centre where easy to read displays prepare you for the sights ahead.
It is well worth while spending enough time in the interpretive centre, as many things along the boardwalk are not immediately obvious at first glance. There are a few places where you can stop and sit on the trail, and if you keep quiet you'll be surprised by the variety and behaviour of the birds that you see. Lizards, crabs and other creatures will also resume their daily life if you keep still.
The St Kilda Mangrove Trail is about 400 metres long, and you should allow at least 45 minutes for your visit.

The Cumberland Trail is an ambitious trail which will eventually cross the entire state of Tennessee from north to south along the Cumberland Plateau. It can't be mountainous vistas the entire way, so the trail goes through the town of Wartburg, even through the town square. This was embedded in the sidewalk that surrounds the county courthouse in Wartburg's square. I suppose I could say I've hiked a portion of that trail, or at least a couple of city blocks worth of it.
First nights campsite on the Colorado Trail section 8. About 2.5 miles past Camp Hale heading towards Tennessee Pass. Needed to take a bath in bug spray to keep the skeeters away! A smokey fire helped keep them at bay though! There was a nice creek nearby.
Trail Ridge Road provides spectacular view of the majestic scenery of Rocky Mountain National Park. It is the highest continuous motorway in the United States, with more than eight miles lying above 11,000' and a maximum elevation of 12,183'. The name "Trail Ridge Road" derives from it proximity to historic pathways used by native peoples to cross the Rocky Mountains.
Trail Ridge Road was designed to replace Fall River Road, which proved inadequate for modern motor travel as soon as it opened in 1920. Trail Ridge Road was designed to have more gentle grades, broader curves, and a greater variety of scenic experiences. The sunny, ridge-top location would also reduce snow accumulations and allow Trail Ridge Road to open earlier then its shady, snow-laden predecessor.
Trail Ridge Road was constructed between 1926 and 1932 through the collaborative efforts of the National Park Service and the Bureau of Public roads (now the Federal Highway Administration). Construction Crews had to contend with imposing terrain, harsh weather, short working seasons and stringent design criteria, which were intended to ensure that the road would "lie lightly on the land" displaying the region's rich scenic diversity with minimal impact on the natural environment. Trail Ridge Road opened in July 1932, providing motorists with access to impressive, views, memorable wildlife viewing opportunities and spectacular high mountain Terrain.
GRADE: The road was designed with a ruling grade generally less than 5% and never exceeding 7%, less that half as steep as the Fall River Road.
TURN RADIUS: Minimum radii for open curves were 100' and 200' on blind curves. Many curves were designed to sweep across but not dominate the landscape.
ROAD WIDTH: Unlike the single-track Fall River Road, Trail Ridge Road was designed as a two-lane with a 22' roadbed and 3' ditches in cut sections.
ELEVATION GIAN: The roadway was largely built into the hillside, elevated on rock fill once it reached tundra. Long continuous curves were used to gain elevation.
PULLOUTS: The commodious stone-wall turnouts, often located on major curves, provided ample space for visitors to take in the views.
Travel Utah’s Beautiful Backcountry Along the Burr Trail
Located just outside the northeast region of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area in Bullfrog, the Burr Trail offers excitement for the adventurous explorer. Views of features like the Henry Mountains, Waterpocket Fold, the red Circle Cliffs, Long Canyon, and Pedestal Alley await the traveler who wishes to explore this interesting road. To fully enjoy the journey always be well prepared. Make sure you have plenty of water, a first aid kit, proper footwear, sunscreen, a hat and a means of communication.
History of the Trail
John Atlantic Burr was born in 1846, during his family’s journey from New York to San Francisco on the SS Brooklyn while sailing across the Atlantic Ocean. Once they arrived, Charles and Sarah Burr then set out to Salt Lake City with their new baby. As part of the early pioneers from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Burr family eventually moved south in 1876 and founded the town of Burrville, Utah.
John Burr grew up to be a cattle rancher in the rugged backcountry of Utah. Living in such a desolate area, he needed to develop a route to move his cattle between winter and summer ranges, as well as to market. This cattle trail through the rough, nearly impassible country around the Waterpocket Fold, Burr Canyon, and Muley Twist Canyon came to be known as the Burr Trail.

The 200-mile-long Lolo Trail is significant for two reasons, both based on its being a traditional Indian route through the Bitterroot Mountains. First, in September 1805, Toby, a Shoshoni guide, led the Lewis and Clark party through the passage. This would prove to be the single most arduous stretch of their entire journey, but was key to the expedition’s reaching the Pacific side of the continent. Seven decades later hundreds of Nez Perce Indians used the trail when fleeing the U.S. Army during the Nez Perce War of 1877.

As we walked along the trails through the bush near our home, there were a number of alternative routes we could have followed. Who knows where they lead. Some day we will go exploring.

Spent a few morning hours shooting with my good friend Mike Karr. We visited a few spots that didn't require too much bushwhacken because of a healing knee.
After a quick shoot at Elowah we hoofed it up through Pony-tail Falls and ended up a mile or so above above Triple Falls on Oneonta Creek. The creek up there had a couple nice spots but we both seemed to think that the Fall season would be the best time to shoot Upper Oneonta Creek due to the numerous Maples in the area.
It seems my knee is going to take longer than i originally hoped and therefore I have to visit the usual spots that aren't too far off trail. Climbing over obstacles and slipping in the creeks is a killer on the left knee.
So the plan is to be fairly conservative for now so in July and August I can hopefully make it up to the upper reaches of Mt. Hood and Jefferson...we'll see though.
The Shot >> This was taken up above Triple Falls a ways. The greens were intense and the rain was falling. I know with the way the weather has been the last two months...its hard to believe. LOL.
