Kings Canyon-Sequoia National Parks

It's been a while, I have to get out more.

These photos were taken on a great trip I had with Friedhelm

to Kings Canyon-Sequoia National Parks.

This first one is the view from the Forest Service Fire Lookout

on Buck Rock. The road in was pretty bad, but the view once you got

there was spectacular.

Can you imagine being here during a thunder storm. That would be soooo cool.

Unfortunately they don't allow anyone up there if there's a possibility of 

lightning. If you look closely at the chair's feet you will see that they're

protected by insulators.  I think the chair has been there since the 

tower was first put in, in 1923. 

They also have some very active Hummingbird feeders.

During a hike I saw only two of these flowers, about 10ft apart. I kept a

eye out for more but only saw the two. Not sure what the name is but

it seemed to closely match a Bindweed. So we'll go with that.

The area had been burned so there were a lot of fire scorched trees. Some had

fungi growing out of the bark. This is the only one that had 'eyes' and seemed to 

be looking out to see what was happening.

I really like the fine lines of both the weed and the spiders silk.

You know me and lines.

Go, See, Enjoy and Photograph
