Well, fall is coming to an abrupt end, as we jumped from over-warm to a hard freeze warning or two.  Over the first 10 days of November, I grabbed a few more shots, on my […]

Our local NANPA chapter was planning for some end-of-season fall foliage photography (say THAT 3 times fast).  The plan was to get there just after sunrise, to catch ‘golden hour’ sunlight.  When I came through […]

I was having trouble sleeping, so I got up early (4am… no alarm), and did my normal morning stuff (breakfast, cats, dishes, etc), then went South/West on the Blue Ridge Parkway around 5:30.  Just past […]
