Ready for another Photo Safari Report?  This one will be a little different.  The photo above is probably my one and only really good picture from the hike.  I honestly don't know what happened.  I guess, for me, it just wasn't a good picture taking day.  It happens.  The same way sometimes no matter how hard you try, it's not a good baking day.  You did everything right, but the product quality just wasn't there.  Oh well.  Consequently, I'm calling this one the Crappy Photo hike.

It was a GREAT hike, please make no mistake there.  It was a perfect hiking day, actually.  The sun was shining but the air was crisp and cool, the preserve wasn't crowded and Joy and I had, as we always do, a great time just hanging out together.  We saw a lot of things that were very photo worthy too.  And we always say that some times it's enough to have just seen it.  Getting a picture is just icing on the cake.  Well this time around, my cake is mostly icing-less.  Sad but true.

I'll show you a few of the not great photos and I will even add a little commentary. I think we can all agree that the following photos are more laughable than postable:

Dagnabit!  Oh well, it is what it is what it is.  I did get one almost clear flower photo.  One.

It is a little sunglared.  Maybe it would look better in black and white?:​

Actually I did get a few bird photos that weren't butts or blur. They aren't spectacular, but they are at least recognizable as being of birds!  It's the little things:

There were a few relatively non-blurry as well, though I will say, due to their teensy size, getting a really good picture of an insect is tricky business!

Randos?  Naturally.  I almost always have those uncategorizable photos for you.  And most of these came out fairly well.  Maybe because they know they are my favourites:

And that's that.  The Crappy Photo Hike.  Great hike filled with beautiful things, but not very many good pictures.  Maybe you were able to at least get a giggle out of my lousy pictures today! I hope so!  If you can start a new week with a chuckle, that it not so bad :)
