Jeff mountain biking with Sierra, in Auburn, California
A few days ago, I wrote a post Just for Fun, but didn’t reveal how the image was created until now.
We have a print of the photo above hanging on our living room wall. Just for fun, I wanted to see what would happen if I took a photo of the photo. I tried zooming this photo and this is what I ended up with.
I really like the unique results. But, this photo clearly is the better of the two, in my opinion.

Abstract shot of Jeff mountain biking in rural Auburn, California
Every now and then, I like to try something just for the fun of it. That was the case when I shot this photo. I’m not going to reveal how it was created. Instead, I would like to see if anyone can figure out how it was created.
Any guesses?

Wild Sierra Iris growing along the Poppy Loop Trail at Hidden Falls Regional Park, in the Sierra Nevada Foothills, Auburn, California
One year ago this past Thursday, Jeff and I spent our 25th anniversary adventuring in Cabo San Lucas. This year we spent it adventuring in our own neck-of-the-woods. Although it wasn’t near as wild as our week in Cabo, it was wild of a different nature.
It was wild as in “wildflowers.”

Pan shot of a woman mountain biking the Stagecoach Trail, ASRA, Auburn, CA
The Stagecoach Trail is the #1 trail of the Clementine Loop Trail. It starts at Russell Road (off of Lincoln Way) in Auburn and ends about 2-miles later at the North Fork of the American River. If you plan to continue on here to trail # 2, cross over the Old Foresthill Road Bridge and hook up with the Clementine Trail on the left.
This trail is considered a beginner/intermediate trail. It’s an old fire road, so it’s very wide all the way down to the river, which is the easy part. But, it’s downhill all the way. Which means, for those that want to turn around here and return to Russell Road, it’s all uphill and that bumps this trail up to intermediate.
Note: All the trails that make up the Clementine Loop Trail are great for hiking and running too. They are also ”dog friendly” for leashed dogs.

Mountain biking the Clementine Trail, ASRA, Auburn, CA
Look close. There are actually 2 mountain bikers in the middle of this photo. I was hiking on the other side of the river when I shot this. I decided to travel light that day and left my long zoom lens behind. Unfortunately!

Silhouetted mountain bikers riding through the culvert, Auburn State Recreation Area, Auburn, California
The Culvert Trail is trail #4 of the 5 trails that make up the Clementine Loop Trail. It runs from Lake Clementine Road to the Auburn-Foresthill Road and drops down into Mammoth Bar. At this point it hooks up with trail #5, the Confluence Trail, which parallels the Middle Fork of the American River.

Mountain biking the Confluence Trail, Auburn State Recreation Area, Auburn, California
The Confluence Trail is #5 of the five trails that make up the Clementine Loop Trail. It begins off Old Foresthill Road out of the Mammoth Bar OHV area in Placer County, runs along the Middle Fork of the American River and ends up at the Foresthill Bridge.
The Quarry Trail (see the trail in the background of this photo) that I wrote about in previous posts, is on the other side of the river, in El Dorado County.
Note: This trail is recommended for advanced riders only.

The Quarry Road Trail is one of the easiest mountain biking trails in the Auburn area. It is mostly flat, with a couple steep hills and a few smaller hills mixed in.
