5/52 Hike Challenge:

Chirico Trail up to Poo Poo point

It was a good hike, and I’m very inspired to go paragliding now, but I’m not satisfied enough with any of the pictures I got to post one

I’ve decided this year to attempt the 52 hike challenge

My first hike of the challenge was up to Dirty Harry’s Peak

And somehow I always forget that Mt Si kicks my ass until I’m half way up it and it just keeps getting steeper

Hiking up the mountains is great because you get to experience All the weather

Wonderful mildly chilly lush temperate forests at the trailhead and then it just gets colder and snowier until you’re knee deep in snow in a frozen winter wonderland

And then you trudge back down until it’s all green and pretty again haha

Went on my first hike in months and ended up taking a couple pictures that were ok but then I got home and got some really nice shots of the hummingbirds that hang out near our apartment

9/52 Hike Challenge: Shi Shi Beach Trail

I Love the ocean. I love the way it smells, I love the sea spray. It just feels good.

The weather was beautiful. Although the forest trail leading to the coast was extremely muddy and did require you to make your own path around the mud a few times it was really lovely. There was a cool boardwalk through a lot of it. I saw a lot of birds…but I had my landscape lens on so didn’t really get any shots of them :(
