Pretty Waterfall

 

 

Quite some time ago, I headed out for a bike ride at the Bangor City Forest (I’ll post a few pictures from that trip in another blog post at a later date). On the way home I decided to finally stop and check out some public land I pass in Amherst every time I take a trip to Bangor.

 

The trek down the dirt road had me a bit concerned since there were so many twists and turns and no trailheads in sight for quite some time. But, I pressed on and eventually spotted a small sign for one of the many trailheads in the area. I continued on and just happened to spot a pretty little waterfall by the side of the road. So, I found a spot to park, walked over, and took a few photos.

 

 

 

It seems I’ll need to do a little research on the area and find some maps of the trails before I pay the Amherst Public Lands another visit.

 

 

 

Until next time…

Get Your Fish On

 

 

I don’t fish, personally, but I know a lot of people do. They fish for sport (which I don’t care for), they fish for relaxation, and they fish for food.

 

Link is no exception. (FYI, I made that fishing pole! *super proud* [^_^])

 

 

I wonder what he’s trying to catch. The elusive Hylian Loach, maybe?

 

 

 

 

Until next time…

New Trail

Every once in a while I start to get a little bored hiking the same circuit of trails over and over.  So, when I stumble upon a new trail, I’m eager to check it out.

 

I recently located another trail close by one I frequent.  How I never knew about this trail before is kind of sad.  I didn’t drive far enough down the particular road.  Sort of an “around the next bend” kind of situation.

 

Anyway, the trail system is called the Boot Head Preserve and it’s a modest two mile loop but the ocean vistas are awesome.

 

This was the first vista I came to when I took the right path of the loop.

Circling around the loop, I came upon this staircase…

…which brought me to another awesome vista.

I’ll definitely be visiting this preserve again in the future.

 

 

Until next time…

Hiding Spot

 

On a recent hike, I stumbled across a tree that had a spot hollowed out.  Something about the size and shape of the hollow got me thinking…

 

It’d be a perfect place for Link to hide…

 

 

Sometimes you gotta ambush your enemies and what better way to do it than from above, from the hollow of a tree?

 

 

Until next time…

December Pick-Me-Up

 

With the days getting colder as we travel further into winter, I figured it’d be nice to post a shot of something bright and lively. An image to help folks look forward to spring. It may seem like a long way off right now, especially in areas that already have several feet of snow, but we’ll get there eventually. We always do.

Oh, and since next Monday falls on the 26th, and is the last Monday of 2016 (already!?) I’d like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, Happy/Merry *insert holiday here*! Whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope it’s joyous, healthy, and safe!

 

 

 

Until next time…
