Outdoor Weekend

Runners, Waterfront Park, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok
(Canon 5D Mark II camera, 24-105mm f/4 lens at 97mm, 1/80 sec, f/8, ISO 100)


Charleston is in the running for best outdoor city in the U.S. So far it is ranked in the top 10 at number five. Boulder, Colorado is in the lead, with Portland, Oregon second. This is a contest held by Outdoor Magazine and participants vote through Facebook.

If the weather is nice where you are this weekend, I hope you enjoy the great outdoors of early summer.

And LasT but not LeasT... Happy Birthday, LT!

Don't forget to wear your sparkLing Tiara!

  10. Getting the legs to look right is always the difficult bit - but you've managed extremely well - and it makes a super picture. Don't you just love silhouettes!

    Have a nice weekend Doug and try not to lurk in those woods too much!
