Steep Mountain Canyon

This is a view up the canyon in the Desatoya Mountains that Beth and I hiked a few weeks back. It was a very scenic canyon With Aspen trees in areas, a creek running down it and these steep rocky outcroppings. We would like to go back sometime and hike further up into the area. There is also another trail just south of this one that we would like to check out more.

Rocks

I went out for a bike ride last night on a hill near our house and put my Sony point & shoot camera in my camelbak. I wanted to have a camera in case I came across something worth grabbing a few pictures of and my old Sony is much smaller than my Nikon DSLR and therefore easier to take along on a quick bike ride. When I was out on the top of the hill I thought I could try taking some pictures of the Rock outcroppings to use for R. So I played around with it for a while trying to find some good angles and ways to frame it to make it somewhat interesting. I also find that when I am trying to take more than just a snap shot I have a harder time with the Sony as I am wanting all the controls my Nikon gives me. It was a nice ride and I think it was a good exercise to make my self work within the confines of the Sony camera to come up with some images. Part of the ride I did was on a very narrow trail with a pretty steep hill right next to it that you would not want to fall down (right by the rocks in the last photo), not totally sure what the trail was from but it may have been an old trail from wildlife going threw there.
