Rough Ridge

/0 Comments/in /by

On the Blue Ridge Parkway one morning near Blowing Rock I stopped at one of the many overlooks. From the parking lot, you can hear water running from some small cascades. I looked up and could seed a part of this bridge through the trees so I headed up the trail to check it out completely.

This Week at the Lake – 38/52

/1 Comment/in , , , , , , , , , /by

A very quiet week this short week. I was only able to visit Radnor Lake a couple times because of the Thanksgiving Holidays.

The first day I went was Monday mid-day. I only came away with one decent shot:

I got up to go early Tuesday morning but as soon as I left the house it began to pour down rain on me and it continued to rain all day. So I tried again Wednesday morning. No rain this time so I arrived at the lake at about 6am. I got the lead shot waiting for the sun to rise. Although there was a lot of color on the water, there really wasn’t much of a sunrise. So I headed out on the trails:
I soon spotted this buck missing half his rack – I’ve seen several bucks like this so far this year.

I didn’t get much that morning so I went back later that day before heading home from work.

Soon after taking this shot at the beginning of the trail, it began to pour again! So I covered the camera with some plastic and headed back to the car. Along the way I stopped for a few more shots:

I actually passed several people on the trail when it was raining very hard. I was surprised to see so many people out at the lake in such ugly weather

And that’s it for the week!

Thanks for looking!

Stormy Tuesday

/2 Comments/in , , , /by

On my way home from work yesterday, July 13, I stopped to get a few shots of a rain storm.


You could actually see where it was raining and which direction the storm was moving. I sat and watched it move left to right in front of me.


I pulled out the zoom lens for this one. The sun was setting behind me and was not obstructed by clouds so the light on the green farm was amazing! It really made the green glow against the dark bluish gray sky
