I had visited this wilderness park about one year before, having went with 2 friends who originally discovered the park. I had recently purchased a Konica Dimage Z6 and wanted to try it out somewhere with plenty of scenery. I hoped to get a few wild animals as well. This journey was a solitary one and what I had with me consisted mainly of one water bottle and the camera and case. It was a very hot summer day but having it rain would have helped with taking pictures.

I tried 2 pictures with out it and was some surprised that these came out as well as these did. [...] |

Stepping outside I opened my map and was has a choice to make. Before me was two obvious ways to head out. Lafe and right.

Marshes and wild birds were to be found much deeper with-in the park. [...] |

Continuing along the westerly trail I came across a nice viewpoint. I could imagine sitting here for a while on a cooler day and enjoying the view. From a photographic standpoint this is one of the first pictures I managed to get that caused me to consider getting a single picture made into a poster. [...] |
