LaBarque Creek Lichen
Thursday was a good day for a hike at the LaBarque Creek Conservation Area in Jefferson County, Missouri. The hiking trail starts along the creek, ascends into the hills overlooking the creek, and crosses the many drainages that have exposed the underlying St. Peter Sandstone in many intriguing ways.

When I returned home and loaded my images in Bridge, the modern-day contact sheet, I saw that the details were way more interesting than the long shots.

The close-up of the same sandstone ledge and the small pool beneath it is more intimate, more interesting.

And sometimes photography is all about playing with light.

I love your eye, Quinta. These photos are so full of discovery and secrets! Wish I had been there with my Nikon! Wendy
You should come up here and hike the Ozark hills with me. It was some hike. I am still sore.
