June 16, 2002, 9AM. An hour and a half into my hike in Watchung reservation, I came under a young maple tree. It is a good idea to look up sometimes; you may be surprised with what you see, as was I. This was a fairly difficult series of shots; I could not use my tripod, yet had to achieve longer exposure times. It was fairly dark, and the flash only underexposed the picture, so I ended up standing as still as I could and taking the shots. About half the pictures were blured, but others were worth the effort.

Technical data: Fully automatic HP 618, 2.1 megapixel on maximum resolution.
