Pre-Holiday Rerun


Is it Thursday already? Here's a rerun from last August.

I've been busy this week with studies and classroom setup, but I'm off to Atlanta tomorrow for the Peachtree Road Race and other holiday activities. Have a happy 4th!

Not Quite the Message


Bethany informed me that the sign said "Welcome to Cloudland Candyland."

We went down to the falls, but I didn't take my camera with me, in case I needed to carry a tired hiker back out. As it turns out, she made it herself.

Delayed View from the Pocket


I'm finally getting some prints from photos taken nine months ago. Here's a photo from the Pocket which didn't quite make the posting cut last summer.

An Exercise for the Reader


We leave merger-by-HDR as a mental exercise for the reader.

Rhododendron Holdouts


A few blooms were left here and there.

Jacks River in June


Despite the humid heat, there's plenty of shady trees and cold water along the Jacks River Trail.

I hadn't been out there since February. This time around I had a nice swim in a deep hole, and river crossings were pleasant refreshment.

Prayer of the Woods
