zoroastr Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Summertime, and a climber's fancy naturally turns to thoughts of massive, grandiose, high-altitude objects. Still, it seems that some of the most memorable things about this season are the humblest in scale... A bumble on a thistle... Vanity, thy name is "Butterfly..." Outta my way! Free Food! What brings these little guys out in occasional hordes, I can only guess... Cheers... Quote
mec Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Is that one of those frogs you can lick and feel real good afterwards Quote
Bug Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Zoroastr thusly spoke. The frog must have an effect. Nice pics. Quote
Aya Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Aren't those thistles all invasive and non native and generally bad out there? Pull those suckers! Quote

selkirk Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 What kind of berries are those? Yep, Salmon berries. Not very tasty for my money though, and only in really wet areas. Though there are ripe Thimbleberries and native Blackberries from the top of the switchbacks all the way to the turn off for Snow Creek wall! Walking back to the cars took a littl while! Quote
thelawgoddess Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 awesome pics -what great close-ups! can i ask about your camera? Quote
zoroastr Posted July 30, 2005 Author Posted July 30, 2005 Thanks for the merciful comments on my beginner's photography. I just bought a Canon A510, which has a macro mode. I'm very happy with the results I'm getting both for close-in shots and the wide-angle shots you can make with the software that stitches multiple images together. I sound like an ad for Canon, but I'm happy with the camera. Still, I have to say that the main reason I bought this particular brand was that the model in question was on sale at Fry's for under 150.00, and that I'm sure many other brands are at least as good at this price point. Anyway, thanks again... Quote
