Hiking in Focus

Hiking in Focus My 2 passions of hiking and photography go hand-in-hand. I have trouble doing one without the other. Please visit hikinginfocus.com for more. Thank you!

I try to capture the things not always noticed at first glance as I wander through the mountains.

Went for a short walk just before dusk Saturday evening at Lake Conestee Nature Park with my mom before she has to fly home. A cat watched us as we made our way down the path, a daddy long legs eyed us as we crossed the bridge, a heron tried to hide in the shadows along the shoreline, and we spotted my first Barred Owl high in a tree after sunset, unable to even see his face due to the darkness of the canopy and had to keep checking each time I took a shot to see which direction he was turned. He finally swiveled toward us. A bit grainy, but not too bad. 🦉

Good morning! I love the tendrils of these passion flowers found in Conestee Nature Preserve - they have an undersea, anemone feel to them. Enjoy your Saturday!

I surprisingly don't see many butterflies at Conestee Nature Preserve, I'm probably just not lucky that way. But this one landed on the white gravel far in the back of the park, and the sun brightly lit up the area.

A different angle of the 1 antennae'd grasshopper that I shared a couple weeks back from Conestee Nature Preserve. My eye still hurts thinking about it.

Walking along the boardwalk at Conestee Nature Preserve which extends out into the swamp, I spotted this dragonfly quite a ways out on this tall branch jutting out of the water. I probably only noticed it because of the sunlight bouncing off it.

Hope Monday wasn't too rough. Enjoy your evening!
