Played hooky, went hiking today.

elgecko · Apr 6, 2005

Actually I did not really play hooky, I told the boss Monday I was taking off today because it going to be the nicest day here in SE PA of the spring season so far.
I ended up hiking for 10 1/2 miles. I'm a bit tired now.
Here are 8 pictures of some selected items I photographed while hiking. I also found 3 geocaches if you know what that is.

Picture #1 - some blue flowers.

Thanks for the comment.
I've been taking pictures since the late 80's. I love to photograph nature.
