Not just those pictures of "here is my kayak and the camp" (I take them too), but what the area looks like. What it really looks like. Show what makes it special. Show what makes you sad about the area, the traffic, the plants. Make notes or even sketches. The more you get into it the more you will get to know your area(s), and I guarantee you that once you have gotten on your belly to take a close up of a tiny flower, sweat getting in your eye and a mosquito all the while trying to make you move, that you will never walk through the woods quite the same way. Why all the trouble? If we are to save the wildness we need an army of people with facts about what is happening out there. A series of pictures taken from someone that is out there and watching the changes may just be make that difference that helps it take place. At the very least, you can show your grandchildren what it was like, back then, and you will grow closer to your surroundings in the process. >> Dear James, This is a wonderful suggestion! Thanks for your sharing. I hope to do just that with my paddling buddies. << Sorry about the long winded, poor gramered, and misspelled jumble of words. I'll go back out and do what I do best..keep quit and watch. >> I don't think you're long-winded or poor-grammered. Just get yourself a spellchecker for your email (LOL).
