Captain 435 - Fire Hiker

A scheduled vehicle maintenance appointment in Modesto, CA. one November day, had the drive begin at sunrise.  Having the camera with us, a sunrise photo was taken in the Hathaway Pines area.
 
After the vehicle service and a shopping spree, we began our trip back home and captured a sunset picture over a Modesto Mall.
 
The fair weather afternoons of September, October, and November brought the annual fire wood gathering trips into the woodlands of the Stanislaus National Forest.
 
Having one or more of the cameras present, I always am looking for photo opportunities.   Below are pictures from some wood cutting days.
