Hike #10

This is the Bird Sanctuary in Old Chatham. This is a definitely a hike just like hike #9. Its kinda hard to find, theres a sign that says private land next the to park's sign but thats where you can park or park near the Powell house and walk up. This is not part of the Land Conservancy program just a park thats owned by the Powell house. This is a no dog park and my guess why its because its kinda tricky in some areas and not picking up after the dog. There are some areas of the hike that are a little tricky and there is muddy. 

There are 2 look out points one is the best and ones a small part. When you are up there its all rock and a steep fall so don't get to close. This is definitely a Columbia County view to see, I may go back up in the fall to see all the colors. Theres definitely a great place to walk around there are lots of trails or just go for the view. some of the trails are not the greatest but easy to follow and walk over things.   

There is a pond near the parking lot where you can bird watch behind a "blind". You have to go past the pavilion and there it is, its pretty cool.  I did not go around the pond and to got to the pond there is a road entrance as well that I saw. So if you like bird watching It would be a cool spot to check out.

Hike #9

I went to Schor in Redrock on a cloudy grey day. It was my first big hike alone as well in an unfamiliar location. But I did the big hike and faced my fear. I made a big long post on my personal Facebook about it (here) . When I got there there was 2 trails and I took the one on the right, next time I will explore more. There is a large pond with a small island named Jon's pond. (large rock on trail says it.

The trails are marked so its some what easy to follow. If you do get lost like I did the trails maintained. There are rock formations and cliffs on your way up the mountain. Theres some cool trees as well. I will go back on a nicer day and spend more time. 

Hike #8

I took a ride to Ooms Pond in Chatham on a nice day. This is pretty big park to walk around. Theres a trail that takes you around the whole pond and in the woods. You will see a lot of birds flying around in the tall grass. There are a few parking lots that people with boats use and 2 main parking lots of walking. When walking up the hills you will see some great views. 

You can fish and kayak in the pond, you can hear and see frogs and fish in the pond. The first time I ever came here was at night which is pretty cool, red ,orange sky. 

Mini Project

As you know i have a studio space that I share with my dad's furniture, that he works on during the week. So I left the paper down because I was shooting some furniture and never put it up. As my dad works he leaves the door open near the studio to let air in. We live on a hill where it can get very windy, so the paper was moving a lot. It was at the end of its roll and needed to be fixed. The paper started falling off the wall and beginning to fold. It was a Wednesday aka garbage day so i took the paper and put it outside so i can bring it to the garbage. Dad started walking closer to the workshop and saw this sculpure in the yard and told me to go look at the paper, Thats where the Paper Sculpture Mini Project was born. I brought it all over the yard and making it look like a sculpture, Like my personal Art Omi (hike #4). There Will be more projects and series coming in the future. I also may add to this when I have more studio paper that needs to be put out.
