old farming equipment?
spotted this bug with ginormous fake eyes...i'm watching you watching me watch you!
i wonder if there's enough flat spot on that island to overnight on.
first real outing with this ultralight tarp. my assumption was correct - the semi see-through material acted like a greenhouse. it's good for the winter but on this trip, it was letting too much sunlight/heat through for my liking...on days above 70° f i have to pick a really shady area or bring a different tarp (i really hate hot weather, give me winter anyday!).
i've never seen so many of these dragonflies in the same area...mating season perhaps? there were a dozen of them at any given time swirling about but they were very skitish and flew away as soon as they sensed i was near.
first time seeing a bluish/purple one as well. these guys were even more skitish than the green ones! it took me maybe 50 shots and an hour of stalking them just to get this one usable shot.
chipmunks, however, just love the camera.
been cutting back on weight these past few weeks...a lightweight backpack is next and i'll be in the sub-20 lbs load out with food and water.
relaxing, cody lundin-style.
