So, I'm not as brave as I used to be (or, alternately, not as stupid. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who has broken two arms and one cast. Who, while lost, climbed a rock face to get a better feel of where she was and slipped and fell twenty feet. Who used to daily walk across a dead tree fallen over a creek bed because it was a quicker way home. Who decided that the best place to ride her bike on the highway near her house was in the turn lane. But all of that is history).

Regardless, I found the following experience to be terrifying.

I decided to climb a tree to take my pictures. Keep in mind that I had no partner, so all of these pictures are either taken with me holding the camera, or using a timer with the camera sitting on a branch.

There was a beautiful lake in my background, but I never managed to get it to show up in the pictures, despite my best attempts.



I shimmied, crawled, slipped, turned, and swayed, but it always alluded me.

So, here are some of the resulting pictures (ones that actually turned out). I'd just like you to know that, as much as I love nature, I'm not so much hugging the tree as holding on for dear life.













Finally, I decided to get down.



Or maybe just stay in the tree for awhile.

Frankly, I'm surprised I didn't kill myself.

I'm impressed that you were able to take those pictures on your own, Cami!

I don't have a box like that...
I should though. >_<
This just shows how long it has been since I used my camera.

I am perfectly fine with old pictures. XD I know melody desperately wants us to not be the only tree hugging nerds.

These are not at all recent.. but follow the same theme.
Actually these are from my vacation to the rain forest last summer. ^_^




I'm the girl in the picture >.> I hate heights so I'm holding on. This tree that I'm standing on is actually maybe ten feet off the ground.. I had to climb a second dead tree that the one I was standing on had fallen onto. (Most of these trees are over a hundred feet tall)



Us again standing inside the oldest, and biggest tree. It's completely hollow where we are standing. You can physically actually go inside a tree, was very cool.

I have MANY more pictures of just the nature itself if any want to see more of the beautiful rain forests of Tofino Island.

Nessa, I have decided that you need one of the computers that has the memory card slots in them. (mine does, I lose cables too easily XD) I just put the memory card in and BAM pictures get uploaded.

oddly enough my printer has it too, but I never use it. >.>

When you said that, I looked at my computer thinking that I might have missed something, but I don't think that it has one...
Too old.
The camera has a memory card though.
That would be nice.
>_<

I'll probably just end up posting these somewhere after Earth Day.
xD

lol, My computer is like 3 years old, and up until two years ago I didn't know it had the slots. >.> I never paid attention to them XD So i would go through the hassle of getting the usb cord hooking it up to the camera, then to the computer each time even when te batteries were low... lol. Then I took out the memory card one day, went hmmmm...and inserted it into the slot and it worked! XD It has a spot for like 4 different sized cards I think. It was a total shock, and a total happy moment. XD I was then taking pictures much more often.

Yeah.
That would be convenient.
I just got desperate and held up the USB cord from my ipod next to my camera for a few moments...
But it looks like it is too large to fit.
They should make these things standard sizes!
xD

I agree completely. XD

I want an iPod. They're so nifty!

If it wasn't raining I would take the kids outside and have them all hug the trees too. <3 alas it rained most of last night, and started raining again about 30 minutes ago. I was hoping for another sunny day like yesterday and friday.

It's still pretty nice here, but it's cooler out than yesterday.
That would be adorable if you got the kids to hug trees.

I have a flash drive that uses memory cards, so I can just take the memory card out of my camera and stick it in the flash drive.

Sadly, I don't have the chance right now to run outside and hug a tree.

So instead you get a photo of me when I was 16, with my father and I posing in front of a bush/tree shaped like Fala, President Roosevelt's dog:

Yet strangely creepy.

I always have to stop and stare at the bushes everytime I visit the park.
