I missed all the damn snow on Friday due to work so I decided to keep my alarm set for 5:30am so I could enjoy a snowy hike up Ruffner Mtn. Google says total distance was right at 7 miles, not bad for a Saturday morning hike… and even I got to the Whistle Stop Cafe by noon so I could eat fried green tomatoes mmmm….  I think most patrons thought I was a train hobo.

The path below quarry. Notice the amount of snow still in the trees.  This was before sun came out.

I didn’t make it to the wetlands in time… everything was melting blah

Thats it!  I actually experienced some user error during the hike, so I didn’t get many shots in the middle of the hike.  I gave up trying to get rid of a “fEE” error on the camera, but then realized that it was because the lens I was using had it’s apeture manually closed up (like f11).  The camera only accepts the lens if its manually set to widest aperture… then the cam can control the ap.  All that said I’m glad I got to spend time just walking and not fiddling with camera gear.
