Long Walks – 9to5chic

One of the latest challenges on Bluesky was to draw yourself in what you're currently wearing, five minutes maximum, so I ventured that yesterday! I'd just returned from hiking and it was chilly here, so I was all bundled up. I also cheated and took an extra five minutes to color myself in but whatever, haha.

My friend TheUncannyDag also made their own, so check theirs out!

Here are a couple of tips on finding the best camping spot.

Scout for Natural Features: Look for camping spots near natural features like rivers, lakes, or mountains. These areas often offer scenic views, opportunities for water activities, and a peaceful ambiance.

Check Online Reviews: Read online reviews from fellow campers to get insights into the quality of different camping spots. Their experiences and feedback can help you gauge the amenities, cleanliness, and overall appeal of a particular location.

Consider Seasonal Factors: Take into account the time of year you plan to go camping. In the summer, prioritize shaded areas to escape the heat. During cooler months, look for camping spots with good exposure to sunlight to keep warm. Additionally, consider any seasonal factors such as insect prevalence or wildlife activity that may affect your camping experience.

Two Immutable Lifestyle Constants - Hiking and Photography

Almost a decade ago the open space mountain park near my home was a virtual wildlife paradise. Nearly every day on my little hour long hike through the high country, I would see a huge elk herd, deer, coyote, fox, hawks and tons of small birds. Now they have turned my primitive open space into a developed park with tourists attractions, and the animals have virtually disappeared. Despite the…
