brandon Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I woke up fairly late this morning so a long hike was out of the question. I looked online for something short and easy and found the Lower Falls Trail in Golden Ears Provincial Park. This Park is in Maple Ridge, BC and took me about 45 mins to an hour to get there. The 3km round trip hike was beautiful and offered many views of Gold Creek as I made my way to the Falls. There really isn't much more for me to say about it so I'll let the photos say the rest.......enjoy. This is the first view of Gold Creek Another shot of Gold Creek taken through some cedar branches These things look like really really brittle bony fingers.....however I believe they are a kind of moss or maybe even a mushroom? either way they looked cool What's worse than a spider sitting on a web? A spider sitting on a web in HDR!!!!!!! This was taken near that spider and it's another shot of Gold Creek And Gold Creek again A calmer section of the Creek with mountains in the background I lowered the camera almost to waterlevel for this shot of the creek And the falls with a nice rainbow I've always wanted to try taking a pic like this...... One more view of the creek on my way back to the parking lot And lastly, a shadow of yours truly Note: all photos taken using the HDR method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawartha Kev Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Great photos as usual Brandon. The "bony little fingers" you mention are most likely a type of mushroom. There is a mushrom called Dead Mans Fingers as a common named that is a type of Xylaria but from what I can tell I don't think that is what it is they are too small but more likely a type of "coral fungus" maybe something in the Clavaria family tough to tell there are so many.

brandon Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Thanks for that info Kev......I'd probably say they were a form of coral fungus but either way they looked pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
