I got up freakishly early today.<\/p>\n

I thought I would head out for a bike ride on the Salt Creek trail and be back before anyone was awake.<\/p>\n

I took pictures!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For some reason, I love the fact that this bike trail has street signs.
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was already light when I headed out, but the sun hadn’t risen yet. Here’s a first peek at it through the trees.
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here it is, a little later. Ladies and gentlemen, the Eye of Sauron!
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw a huge blue heron at this boggish part of the trail. I stopped my bike abruptly, and scared the damn thing off. So, I took a picture of the bog. You’re welcome.
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I saw lots of deer, but didn’t feel like taking pictures of any of them. Well, there was a picturesque scene of a deer urinating just off the trail next to LaGrange Road that would have made an award-winning photograph, but no, I didn’t take a picture of the deer urinating, either.<\/p>\n

I *did* however take some pictures of a raccoon eating garbage. My folks got me a nifty camera for Christmas. It has freakish zooming capabilities, which I will show to you now.<\/p>\n

This is where the raccoon was. My camera is zoomed out.
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the raccoon at 40x.
