All that is Gold
Well, I spotted this out on my Saturday hike from above and scouted for a way down into the capture the scene. What I found was a impenetrable blend of steep banks and thick brush covered in Poison Ivy and Devils Club. Common sense told me to let it go but in the end I slid down using my tripod as a walking stick and managed to get to waters edge with both feet and behind a bit wet. I hope it was worth it for it seemed so at the time to me.
Golden leaves on a moss covered boulder in a small stream contrast nicely against rushing water

Definitely well worth it, hope that you didn’t get poisen ivy! What is Devils Club? Sounds like something that I don’t want anytime soon! (:-))

Devils Club is a small shrub like plant with large leaves that look like maple leaves but the stalks are covering in long spines/thorns. not fun stuff!
Diane Schuster
Oooh! Ouch! Now I know that I don’t want to encounter them, thanks for answering my question, appreciate it!
