The surrounding hills...

Looking beyond town at High Street as it heads over the hills to Norway and South Paris...

It's right there...

One of the boys helps his friends locate a familiar landmark. Everything looks different from up here! ;-)

Looking over town...

And this is why we hiked all that way! What a view!!

Zoom...

Peeking through the trees at some of the homes on Route 219 and watching a red car zoom North on Route 26...

Hiking

Here are a few of the items that a 2nd Grade teacher might take on a hike with her class: guidebooks to help identify items they might find along the trail and a measuring device to see how long the trail is. Those books sure came in handy and the kids all fought over who got to use the measuring wheel. I can't remember how far we hiked, but they wrote it down and applied it to their math lessons in the classroom...



Last month we hiked up Berry's Ledge with the 2nd grade class. This was a wonderful opportunity to show you my town from above. Keep checking back over the next few days for more scenes of West Paris...

Okay, this is the last photo from last weekend's CMTPA Team Penning and Ranch Sorting Extravaganza! If you would like to see more, please check out my Morning Call Ranch Photography website - there is a link over there on the right. Tomorrow we'll head back to West Paris! Wait 'til you see what I have in store for you... ;-)

I just had to share this image with you - I don't know what it is about this photo, but it really intrigues me. The angle...the lighting...the wind...her expression...something...I'm anxious to read your comments...or maybe it's just me?
