“If you go to a desert, you will hear this mysterious voice: Be wise, protect your forests!” [ Mehmet Murat ildan]
Old moss-covered tree trunk, together with what I think is Himalayan Balsam growing alongside ... regarded as an invasive weed.
Just a little something to let ya'll know that I'm still here. Between work and rain, I haven't been shooting much at all lately...
No foliage on the trunk, just at the very top. when out walking, remember to look up. You might miss something.
Tell-tale signs along the Nature Trail: girdling, a.k.a. ring-barking, complete removal of bark from around the entire circumference of a tree trunk, results in the death of the area above the girdle over time; when the main trunk of a tree is girdled, the entire tree will die if it cannot regrow from above to bridge the wound – animals, such as rodents, will girdle trees by feeding on outer bark often during winter under snow, and herbivorous mammals also feed on the bark, in addition to birds and insects, both of which can effectively girdle a tree by boring rows of adjacent holes

Landsford Canal State Park, SC – 2019JUN04 – Shoals Spider Lily:
I've long wanted to see the largest known stand of the rocky shoals spider lily in peak bloom on the Catawba River, Number One on the Landsford Canal State Park's Top 5 Things To Do.
Today we drove into South Carolina just to see those spider lilies!
We also explored the Canal Trail and read the interpretive text along the path to understand the incredible work done on the trail by 1820s standards. "Next time" we want to paddle the shoals and appreciate the power of a piedmont, fall line river.
Hope you enjoy the 14% of 144 photos we took here this day!
This particular snowstorm on March 9, 2023 were all taken from the comfort inside my home! It was a particular nasty snowstorm. So glad I was able to capture it.

A second film through my "new" Zeiss Ikon Nettar, which cost £15.99. Some sort of light leak on two of the twelve frames; but only two. How? Why only two? My only complaint about Ilford's films is the faintness of the print on the backing paper. The frame numbers are printed as pecked lines, which are often difficult to see through the red window of a folding camera. These old peepers of mine find it impossible to read them in shadow, so I have to open the red window in direct sunlight; I remember being told by my father that this was something to be avoided. Is this what accounts for the light leaks? I don't know, though I doubt it. These things are all part of the "fun" of using sixty year-old cameras. Otherwise I was quite chuffed with the results. The focusing ring rotates freely, with no "damping" effect, but focus seems accurate. I remember "guesstimating" nine feet for this shot.
