rattlesnake

As mentioned in my last entry, Steph and I were hoping to hook up with my brother and his wife for a little outdoors fun. Fortunately, we were able to do just that and they took us to Rattlesnake Point Park.

A relatively short car ride from Nick's place in Guelph, Rattlesnake Point is a beautiful place to go for a hike or leisurely stroll (I was tending towards the later, as it was a little balmy outside). The trails are wide and well-trodden and the tree cover is great. After our dogs towed us for about 5 minutes or so, we arrived at the edge of a high cliff overlooking the valley below. As hoped, the scenery was quite photogenic and I snapped off about 100 shots in the hour we were there.

One such picture was of the climber you see above. This was a bit of a treat for me, being far from the rock-scaling scene, so I gobbled up the rare opportunity and managed to grab a few keepers.

So what's the other significant feature of this picture? It's my first official posted picture that was actually taken since I started this blog. Finally the blog is serving it's original purpose...not that I don't enjoy posting some of my older favorites.
