In early April 2008 we went out hiking in the Auburn State Recreation Area for Ken’s birthday. It was mostly fun, until we got lost. We met a rattlesnake and a lizard and quite a few butterflies. I also played with RAW files for the first time.

In the ASRA ‘parking lot’.

I kept trying to snap pictures of the waterfalls on the trail all day. They all kept coming out weird.

Someone’s hiding in this picture. 🙂

Our friend the rattlesnake. It had no problem with us, but when a bunch of bikers passed us on the trail it reared up and rattled at them.

Me on the bridge! Taken by Ken.

Showing off the Australian outback hat I got at a thrift store. And the shirt I designed for the ABGG.
