Today I am featuring pictures taken Saturday afternoon during our walk through the Black Forest above St. Ulrich. My problem is deciding which ones to share today.

The advantage to digital photography is that you can take hundreds of pictures with no regards to cost. That may be a disadvantage also – you don’t need to think about the “perfect” shot, you can just fire at will.

After pausing for reflection, I think Saturday’s pictures can be grouped into categories. Today will be views of the trails around St. Ulrich. On subsequent days we’ll go for scenery, flora, fauna, samples of a “spiritual walk,” and, of course, the village church. There’s also an ice cream shop that deserves a mention. And some interesting rock formations. I think it will keep us busy all week – a bonus for those who prefer pictures to words.

Tuesday (and maybe Wednesday as well), some spectacular scenery.
