to the woods we will go

We've been feeling rather adventurous the last few weekends going on close hiking trips.  Last weekend was wonderfully cool weather for May as you will note I wore jeans and a flannel.  We headed to Raven Rock State Park to hike the 6 mile loop up to Lanier Falls, which wasn't really a 'fall' but rapids.  It was honestly a rather disappointing climax at mile 3, but the company was rather enjoyable.

Lanier Fall - disappointing view

{below} is where I was more interested than the 'fall' above.  I loved the dark ominous look of this section of Campbell Creek.  I didn't have a tripod with me, but propped the camera on my legs while sitting and held my breath to use a slow shutter-speed to capture the smooth flowing waters.  Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
