The Last Dive

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

Of the 2007 season that is….most likely :)

Went to Dutch Springs on Sunday for a day of diving, and added 2 more dives to the log book. More importantly, I got a chance to try out my new camera (the little Olympus FE-280) and underwater housing, there’s a few photos here. I’m pretty happy with the way they came out, considering I don’t have an external strobe. Everything is a little blue looking, but I got to at least document the fun.

Back in the saddle again

My Heckler in the Wissahickon

Got back on the Heckler and took a ride on some trails in the wicked Wissahickon today. Was another perfect day for a ride, and a great chance to snap some photos with the new camera. Saturday I took a leisurely but extended ride along Forbidden drive, today I decided to do the real stuff and get on the trails. After a few lung buster climbs I would stop to compose myself and take some snapshots. In addition to some of the most beautiful natural scenery in Philadelphia, I was fortunate enough to see a rather large mule deer, which I’ve never seen there before. Saturday I saw a family of wood ducks in the creek. I had seen them earlier in the season when the young ones were just small ducklings. The foliage isn’t quite all turned yet, still a lot of green, I’ll be sure to post more photos in the coming weeks as the leaves change.

Some more photos here.
