We meet at the Ballpark in Gillies Bay at 10:00am.
On our last weekend hike we were in the central Thompson Road area and had lunch on top of the very steep sided Eagle Mountain. There is a fairly recent logging road that climbs very steeply to the very top and some grassy bluffs on the west side have great views towards Vancouver Island.
Sometimes on our hikes someone will spot some natural feature along the way and mention that it would make a really pretty photograph. The only trouble with that is that capturing the scene with the camera lens can be far from easy. The human eye sees the world in 3D and the brain often hides the background in a way that works in the real world, but not so well with a two dimensional picture. The subject of my photo this week is an upended tree stump that has been nicely decorated by nature. One of the hikers noticed it as we walked past a shallow pool and I have tried to portray the beauty of the moss, the lichen, the bark and the miniature tree in my photo.
