Nature pics

I took vacation last week and traveled to do a lot of hiking in the eastern US. Here are some of the more interesting photographs:


New River Gorge National River - West Virginia


Ponies at Grayson Highlands State Park - Virginia (This was taken while standing on the AT, by the way.)


This timber rattler and I had a tense moment before we were far enough away from each other to start snapping photos. Old Rag Mountain, Shenandoah National Park - Virginia


Can you spot the deer watching me? Damascus Forest - Pennsylvania


It was pouring during part of my hike, and streams were really moving as a result. This is a creek crossing along the Buckeye Trail. Cuyahoga Valley National Park - Ohio

@midwesterner85 I love that part of the country! Thanks for sharing, makes me want to go back there!

View from the top of Mt. Whitney near where I live in Northwest Arkansas. Rode up there with a group of girls on Saturday- over 3,000 feet of elevation change for the 50 mile ride!

There's a 10k hike between Oia and Fira on Santorini, Greece that I took these on. This is from September 2014 but I couldn't resist sharing. This thread is my absolute FAVORITES by far! So inspired! Treadmills suck!

Bumping for more! Will try to take pics on tomorrow's ride....

Wow, can't believe I haven't seen this thread before, best one! Beautiful pics!

I'm terrible at taking photos. Here's my attempt at capturing a sunset in the local park. I went a little blind for a minute, not sure it was worth it.

AK - a long and much needed vacation.

Nice work

Hike at Mt. Rainier today

A trail we hiked a couple weeks ago ... that's just a hop-skip-jump away from where we live here in Tasmania ...
