Welcome back to the Verbs and Visuals iPhone Photo Challenge wrap up!
It’s not just dogs and flowers this week, thanks to a weekend trail hike. Also, I tried to mix it up a little more with both color and black and white images. Enjoy!

April 12
“One Down, A Forest To Go” – The trail conservation team really do a great job of keeping the trail clean and free of debris. This was a huge tree that, as you can sorta see on the right, had uprooted and had fallen across the trail. It broke part of a small bridge that crossed a small pool of water. The trail was rerouted temporarily, but I had to get a picture.
April 13
“Stepping Stones” – Another shot from our hike. I’ve started a “Backpacker Series” on my Flickr page that I intend to grow as we do more hikes.
April 14
“Tentacles” – We were hiking a trail when I spotted this tree up ahead. The silhouette of its tentacle like branches immediately caught my eye. I reached into my pocket to grab my phone and snapped a pic. For a moment while walking I almost hesitated and passed up this opportunity. I’m so glad I followed my instincts to take the few seconds required to get the shot. It’s one of my favorites. I love the silhouetted tree in this shot and its tentacle-like branches. Despite the colorful background, the stark outline of the tree’s branches remind me of “Tales From the Darkside”.
