Dragon Fly

Took this nice picture of some kind of Dragon Fly in the Rouge Valley using my new FujiFilm FinePix S9000. I used a tripod, cable release, F4.3, ASA/ISO 80 setting on Aperture Priority mode. I was not sure if this kind of insect would bite me because there were about 20 of them buzzing around.  Posted by Picasa

Bruce Trail Waterfalls

N 43° 38.866 W 079° 56.511
Does the sun ever shine in the Bruce Trail? I have no idea because I have never seen it sunny in this place! Again we headed out on an overcast day into the 800km long trail system.







First thing we did was head over to Halton Hills Trail Cryptic because we had decoded the Cryptic Crossword clues in the two micro caches and we were dieing to see where this one was! Turns it it was in the spooky forest we had seen last trip but on the other side of the trail. The forest was not so spooky this time because the roots of the trees were covered with leaves. We grabbed the cache and took some pictures.







There was some very strange tree fungus growing on stumps and tree limbs. I have no idea what this is but it looks disgusting.








Next up was The Falls Tour: Snow Falls North, Snow Falls West (Traditional Cache) . Boy was this one a hard cookie to crack. We were all over this large rock for what seemed like an hour before reading the clue. Even with the clue we took a lot more time to find it! The falls here were very nice.






After lunch we headed over to
The Falls Tour: Silver Creek (Traditional Cache) to find the container damaged and the contents soaking wet. The falls here were nice and the stone bridge was a great surprise!








It was getting late by the time we headed over to 20 Tonnes Falls . I'm not sure what to make of this location except it sure is disappointing for what its name implies! The whole reason this is called 20 tonne falls is because the bridge can have a weight limit of 20 tonnes. We did not find this cache.


Why did this post come out in 3 different fonts and sizes? I don't know, ask Blogspot which seems to hate me. EDIT: Blogspot is a piece of garbage. Why can't they get an image importer which doesn't suck shit?
