Oversized & Berries

Photography Now & Then #94

Packaging that some things come in is almost hilarious at times.

We have a problem with squirrels and I ordered a “catch and release” trap to, hopefully, deal with the problem.  The trap was packaged by the manufacturer in an appropriately sized box, which was then shipped to us inside this cardboard box that was over twice the size it needed to be.

Hilarious, no?

Rocky Mountain National Park’s Fern Lake Trail (Rocky Mountain Hiking Trails.com) follows the Big Thompson River all the way to The Pool, and alternates between forest and a few open areas that provide some pretty good views of the Big Thompson Valley. Along the way you’ll pass through a mixed forest of aspens, lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine, cottonwoods and willows, as well as a variety of wildflowers in the spring and summer. About two-tenths of a mile past The Pool begins a relentless climb of almost 400 feet over the course of the next seven-tenths of a mile to reach the base of Fern Falls, a beautiful 60-foot waterfall that plunges down Fern Creek.

  • The Then photo is usually a randomly selected older photograph from a batch of photos specifically “curated” for Photography Now and Then.
