Quite an epic for the hikers John. Good thing no harm happened to anyone, including the snake. I wonder sometimes why people don't take the time to look at pictures like this one. It has a peaceful and wild feeling and the kind of trails I enjoy. Nice one John :-)

Hi John.
A very nice path to take it and enjoy all the aromas, the calmness and the coolness and somewhere to meet a brown bear!

Have a nice time.

Hi John,
The trail here looks quite narrow amid the thickness of leaves. Quite a contrast to the November Path.
I enjoyed the story about the rattlesnake. They are quite manageable, but you have to know what you're doing--clearly a good park ranger there! Snake season should get more intense now as we head into summer.
Be safe,
José

Hi John,

I guess that this is one of those cases where the photographer (you) feels something sad because almost nobody pays much attention to a photo that is so dear to him. I think that it happens with everyone a time or another. I hope that this one has more success than the other one.

I must confess that I am not sure if I would write anything about it if it wasn't for the note. I am not doing it for pity, but I had to give it a second look to start seeing something more than "just a snapshot of a pretty forest trail". Showing the 'pretty trail' is enough good reason to post it, but actually there is something 'magic' on it - the branches and the game of light and shadows, all that green, remind me of those stories of 'magic forests and paths'.

The November path is a bit depressing. Actually, I thought that it was a burnt area, so it's a good surprise seeing that I was wrong.

Regards, José.
