I went out this afternoon, carrying my usual 20 pound pack of camera, lenses, tripod, and assorted other stuff. The plan was to do some photography in the redwood forest at California’s Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Conditions didn’t cooperate: it rained, the light was dim and flat, I ended up in a bottom of a canyon that didn’t suggest any photos to me. I did not take even one photo!

But I did have a great hike. Really. :-)
