Hiking Along the Perkiomen Watershed Trail

This afternoon I went hiking along the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek at the Perkiomen Watershed Conservancy headquarters near Schwenksville, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It was a beautiful, sunny day with temperatures being just right.

I'm always impressed by the size of this tree

Cergie said...: Really you did my laugh and I needed that today
That's good ! Self portrait of the Hiker !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was imagining you rather with fair hair !

Wild lily, wa call them "hemerocale" and yes they are not difficult to grow at all, but they are not wild at all here, you only may find them in the garden
Brown-eyed Susan ! the one i know has brown eyes yes but she is not as this one
Mine is a creeper, looking like convulvus

So, different country > different words > different pictures in the mind.; 6/25/2007 09:42:00 AM
JAM said...: Love the big tree too! When I was a kid, I would have found a way to get up on that massive branch there and see how high I could get up in there.; 6/25/2007 01:48:00 PM

Tim Rice said...: Hi, murf. Actually that guy I think was fishing. But sometimes when I'm wearing old sandals, I love hiking through water. :)

Thanks, cergie. I'm glad I could give you a good laugh. Laughter is good for the soul. And, yes, different country, different pictures that make up one marvelous world.

Thanks, jam. Big trees are awesome. And, yes, as a child I probably would have wanted to climb it, too. Maybe I should now to get some awesome photos from another perspective. :)

Hi, sage. I haven't seen any. But people do fish along that creek so maybe so.

Thanks, fairyesque-scandal. Nature is so beautiful! And I am looking forward to the wedding day and married life. My fiancée is a most wonderful person. I couldn't ask for better!; 6/26/2007 09:01:00 AM
