DevilsLake 2008 But Wait There's More

There just were so many really nice photos I just
had to add another section. Here are some more very nice
photographs. No wonder it took me 8 hours to go 5 miles

The Forest of Change
Just about every color is present. A rainbow made not of
rain, but of leaves. The color report said the leaves were
100%. I think more like 60%, but that allows a little green
to be present too.

A Little Closer

Sumac close up.
Green to Red
in 30 seconds !
Amazing !
Well not really.

Moss & Lichens

Dancing on the forest floor.
Rocks from summit down to shore.
Licens, Moss and other plants
like the cool wind autumn dance !

Rock On !

Tumbled here long ago they say
Purple quartzite here to stay
Not even a moutain goat will make
Hops across this nest of snakes.

Ancient Ones

Upon the earth near by this lake was found
In the shape of bird creature an Indian mound
Bird and Man merging as some form of Horus
See the flanking illustration from the book of the dead
Me thinks the similarity is uncanny.
From ancient Egypt, the time of Pharoah
Explored lands well beyond the Pillars of Hercules.
