The View From a Log.

So Chris and I went out for a walk yesterday. We get to a creek and there is a fallen tree that goes across the creek almost to the other bank.

So I'm game.

I have no fear about walking across it to get some photos from a different angle. I've been walking across beach logs and beach rocks since I could walk so I am comfortable being up there and I wasn't worried about loosing my balance at all. I mean, it's not every day that you can shoot a creek with a birds eye view.

Chris however, was more hesitant and shall we say a bit more nervous than I was. Although I don't think that I helped by repeatedly saying "So I guess it would be a bad idea if I slipped and fell into the creek right here?".

So thanks Chris for talking the photos of me on the middle of the tree when I was over hte middle of the creek-even though I think he was secretly shitting himself.


Chris on terra ferma (with my tri-pod). He was not putting even a toe on that tree.

The log across the creek. Not too bumpy and not too slippery with the moss growing on it either.

The reflection of a vine from overhead. If you look closely at the shadow, you may recognize the flowers from my pink flowers from the other day. I thought it is neat that you can make out a light pink flower reflection in the water instead of being solid black.
The same pool as I'm throwing rocks in it from above.
There were thes blobs at the bottom of the photo which I edited out. I kept looking the blobs trying to figure out what they were. Then I realized that it was my toes! But I couldn't see the log udner them so I guess my toes were hanging over the side.
I guess that may have been a reason why Chris was a bit worried for me up there...
The water flowing along the creek.

Going a little faster at the bottom of a mini waterfall.

The creek bed along the cliff.
