That’s the plan for the day. I hopped on the dirt bike and headed up to the trail I wanted to do some repairs on, but this tree got in my way, so I had to turn around and go another way. It seems trees just never stop falling in the forest.
This tree tipped over last winter and messed the trail up a little so I wanted to smooth things out.
I got it pretty good, but there was a big root sticking up, so I had to dig some more.
I uncovered enough of the root to chop it off with the Pulaski.
I chopped and chopped as the root was tough to cut.
Once the root was cut, I smoothed the trail out again.
This was the next spot I worked on, a narrow spot in the trail. I widened it out by digging it down a bit.
I did one other spot, before I got tired out and went and sat on this stump at the overlook at the trail’s beginning.
I enjoyed the view while resting up on the stump.
After that, I took the lower trail towards home.
I was thirsty, so I stopped at this spring for a cup or two of water.
Then, headed down this road to my place.
Once home, I had a nap and then chair hopped around the yard for the rest of the day, just taking it easy.
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
