I worked on cutting some more brush out of the loquat tree on it’s left side that was covering the chicken pen.
Of course it made a lot more brush that I left until evening when I moved it to the brush pile.
Hiking around the forest
Then I got my tools out for trail work and rode the quad runner up into the hills where I wanted to hike and check out what’s up above the waterfall to see if I can hook the trails together.
I rode on up this road.
Hiking area
And down this road and parked here as that tree was blocking the road and since I only wanted to hike just below here I parked and walked down the road throwing sticks and stones off it as I went.
Clearing stuff
I did find there was a short road that went above the waterfall so I cleared the stuff off it.
End of the road
I continued on that road and cleared out this part too and then the road dead ended.
Laying out the trail
I just need to connect that road with the trail below that goes to the waterfall so I explored going through here which looked like I could do it without too much trouble, just a little trail work.
Cut up the tree
I made my way back to the quad runner after a good hike and used the chainsaw to cut that tree off the road so next time I can ride all the way in.
Headed on home
I was in there longer than I thought about 3 hours so it was time to get on home so I rode on up this road and headed for home.
Water
I checked the spring water level at the tanks as I went by and the tanks are almost full which is good which means I can do some more watering.
Once home a nap was in order then I did some chair hopping until dark.
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.
