Sometimes I have to actively resist the temptation to grab one of my small (and usually quirky) cameras when getting ready to go on a hike. It would seem that I am typically far too inclined to choose the lighter load. On this day, I told myself the extra two pounds were not going to slow me down in the slightest, and brought Big Daddy along. Full frame camera, snazzy lens. So glad to have chosen photography over convenience! The light was already pretty low in the sky and the shadows from the tree branches were spidered out across the water, making for interesting photographic possibilities. Big Daddy delivered the goods.
