Hiking(weeks 1 and 2)....LOTS of pictures..BEWARE! ;)

Okay so about a month ago I started going hiking once a week with my Aunt JoAnn. I've always liked hiking as long as I'm not pushed and I can take pictures :) (it's one of the reasons I got my camera). I have been loving it and it's one of the things I look forward to doing in my week. I now have a ton of pictures and I'm going to share...don't ask why I don't post more often and share more often...I don't have the answer...or more I don't have a new answer. Anyhoo, enjoy.

The first hike was up Baker Creek on the Baker Lake trail side on May 27th and we got stopped by snow so we didn't get to the lake but we did get in some miles. Some of the wildflowers were out too, it was beautiful.








Lots of water!




The next week we did something I've always wanted to do but was never brave enough to do and that was was go hiking in Kings Canyon. It was fun and since we were at a lower elevation the flowers were out like crazy. I also had NO idea what was back in that canyon and found it cool and peaceful.



Maybe this wasn't so peaceful. ;)














This is looking towards where the road runs through the canyon.








On picture over load yet? Just you wait! JK. I love taking pictures of nature if you couldn't tell. I hope at least one you enjoyed them.....because there are more to come :). Laters.
