First up, a shot taken as we started our journey up the mountain:
Images from the path we walked to get to the pond itself:
Branch Pond:
In the back center of this one, you can see someone standing on a floating platform, fly fishing:
A shot taken through the trees at one of the few moments the water was relatively calm:
Pretty much the same view, sans trees but with an unfortunate bit of lens flare:
Just thought this was an interesting little shot:
A mushroom Dad spotted as we wandered around the pond:
The largest Gartersnake I've ever seen in the wild, also spotted by Dad:
I just thought the inky markings on this trunk were interesting:
I also snuck a picture of Dad as he sat and looked over the pond:
Photos from our walk back to the Jeep:
Yes, this is the same tree as the photo above, just from a slightly different angle and with me attempting to be artsy by including the sun through the pine trees on the other side:
We stopped on our drive back down the mountain so I could take this photo looking back up the road:
Considering I got Dad to stop in the middle of a one-way bridge so I could take this shot, I figured I really should include it
Finally, my favorite shot of the day:
