Thursday hike

There are no classes on Thursdays, so I decided to take my lovely new camera for a hike and get in some practice.


Setting off down 19th Street



Coffee at the bakery


Up the hill...

to the trail head at Hendricks Park


Where I studied for a while



And practiced doing the hold-the-camera-at-arm's-length thing

Then I was off down the Ribbon Trail. It runs for a mile or so along the crest of hills that border the east Eugene neighborhood.


I love doug firs ... and I'm in the right place; they're the Oregon state tree.

Mist and moss

I like ferns, too.


It was rather rainy.



Heading down the trail back to the house and Latin and homework
