Today was a day for taking photographs of objects that do not appear in the photograph.
The instant I turned onto the Cedar Butte Trail from the PTC Trail I saw a young deer on the Cedar Butte Trail. She moved off the trail but was perfectly visible. I slowly took out the camera to snap the picture and at the instant my finger hit the shutter she moved behind a tree:
On the way back to the car, just past the southern terminus of the Sno Valley Trail, I looked up to Rattlesnake Ledge and saw a couple of people peering over the edge. That can be dangerous, a young man died in 2018 when the ledge was icy. But my camera is not good enough to get the people up on the ledge in view:
My various injuries are mostly healed and the weather forecast looks good so perhaps I will finally be able to get out onto the trails more frequently and start getting back into good hiking shape.
