This weekend called out for photography. Where to go? Friday night I researched the East River in Brooklyn for Manhattan overlooks.
Saturday I remained glued to the couch.
Saturday night I began thinking about a drive to the Connecticut River. I’ve done so little shooting there. There are birds, aren’t there?
You know where this is going.
By the time I was ready to get off the couch it was 5:00 PM Sunday. Luckily I’ve got my own private brook across the street in the woods. That’s where I headed.
Jepps Brook is just a few hundred feet from here. That makes it sound closer than it is. Because the brook is small and overflows its banks in a heavy rain there’s lots of moss, precariously place rocks and slippery ground.
I brought a bag with a few lenses, my intervalometer and a tripod. My first shots were destined to be processed HDR. Click, click, click.
As I was bending over the tripod doing absolutely nothing but looking I felt my back go out of whack. Even if I wouldn’t have felt it I surely would have heard the blood curdling scream I let out.
End of photo session!
Yes, it’s that green!
If your back goes out in the woods….and no one hears you scream….did it really happen?
Probably left over from your plane trip. I never liked sitting for so long, back aches always came with it.
Sorry to hear about your back. Think Chiropractic. 🙂

Does your back go out more often then you do?
Geoff, these pictures are just beautiful, very calming.
Sorry about the back, going through it myself, disc sitting on a nerve,numbness in legs and feet.. I agree with Mark, mine has been a big help.
