Rural Explorations...The Saga continues ! (brought back to life by everyone)

Horni, do you have mountain lions in Mn. ? We have one running around town here this week

Cool pics! Thanks ! That flower is awesome too.

TK , those are beautiful photos even if stolen

It looks like the canyon walls are painted !

I did say at the start that photos that a person finds that they like are good here too!

A little explanation about why they like it and that it's rural is all I ask

A few taken by me on Thursday from a different vantage point. All were taken in east central Wisconsin.

Notech - yes, we have Mountain Lions in Minnesota, they're not as common as in Cali though ... mainly way up north in no mans land. Occasionally you'll hear about one straying towards a city though.

Screwy - sweet pics ... hot air balloon?

Screwy flies an ultra lite the,(jerk) Great pictures tho' !

This is not as cool as pics taken from an ultra-lite but....
I went to Whiskeytown lake last weekend. It's only 50mi. from where I live but I've only been there 5 or 6 times in my life and never on
this side.

This is one of the creeks that fill it,



And a look at what they do a lot there.



They water ski and fish too, I've done both there.

This is driving over the dam on the way home.



And a couple of evening pics looking north from the dam.

It's called Johnson Canyon. About a hour drive from my place. Sorry the pics are crap, I had to use my phone cuz I forgot the camera
At home.












The last picture is the town of Banff.

Thanks SP, that is a very beautiful place! The pics aren't half bad either

I need to get unlazy and post my summer explorations

Nice pics Sugarpie ... about time a Canadian posted some rural pics ... I'd think you could just step outside and your in the country up there

^ stay tuned, I may or may not be making a new thread featuring more pics of local scenery.

That picture of the Banff street corner is pretty neato. I like little rustic-looking towns like that.


I may or may not stay tuned.

Beautiful Pictures--Thanks!

Well it's time to not be so lazy and add my most recent outing.

It's Mt. Lassen National Park. I went two Fridays in a row because there is so much to see and I hiked a lot.

This is about a mile from the south entrance looking back,
