Dry Creek Falls Hike - January 2015 - Part 5

These next two are both made up pf more than 1 image. Downside of shooting with a 50mm fixed lens, not a wide view of nature. SO, to improvise I combine them in Photoshop.

 

Dry Creek Falls was so pretty! I loved that it was still slightly frozen all around. Which also meant, it was very cold here. :P I would definitely recommend this hike!

I was definitely not prepared for how cold it was closer to the falls. Gloves are now a essential for all my hikes I do in the winter. My fingers were pretty much not functioning, which isn't helpful when trying to shoot manual.

Close ups are one of my favorite things to capture when I am hiking. You have to be looking to find the gems, which is fun for me. Keeps me entertained while walking through the woods :)

I love the dew drops on this spider web! It amazes me such a tiny creature can make something so beautiful.

 It's always a challenge to get my dog, Mocha to look at the camera. She totally knows when I'm trying to take a picture, and deliberately looks away 90% of the time :P

Dry Creek Falls Hike - January 2015 - Part 2

The fog was gorgeous, we were hiking through the clouds! Made the woods seem spooky, and pretty. If that's possible to be both at the same time.

Back on January 3rd, I went on a hike with my friend Sonny, and my dog, Mocha. It was such a fun hike (which I've done before), I had never done it in fog before. Its relatively easy, and not too steep. This week, you'll get to follow throughout the hike in 12 pictures :) Enjoy, and check back Mon-Fri this week for new posts!

Sandy River Delta Park - January 2015 - Part 3

Sunset is a gorgeous time to take a walk at the dog park. Mocha and I normally kill about 1-2 hours walking around. Getting there an hour or 2 before sunset sets that up as a possibility to see gorgeous skies, and light! Even though Mocha is 9 or so, she doesn't act old. On the contrary, shes like a puppy, only with some grey :)


She's my little model..

Mocha is SO happy she's smiling :)

Her, "Okay, can we go now?" face.

Back to what I said about her acting like a puppy: Here she is running into the sunset.

Like I said earlier, the dog park is SO scenic. There is so much to see around there, with tons of trails and ways to get lost. We've even seen herons fishing in the river, though Mocha scares them away every time.
