Let It Snow!

Snowed in and enjoying a few unexpected days off.

How beautiful it is before it vanishes from the branches!

Where'd My Kitty Go?

Is this where the hunter became the hunted?

Everything must end, even the Universe

in which he lived.

I take a strange comfort in that.

Back to the Parkway

Just another beautiful Appalachian evening.

Looking Back to the Future

I took this last Fall from a friend's deck. I don't seem to notice

how beautiful things are when I'm only looking at them.
He may be moving and I won't get to see it again

except in memory.

From the Parkway

How quickly the Dogwoods yield to Laurel and the Laurel

to wild Rhododendrons.

These trees were bare when the Dogwoods bloomed.

Just Dogwood

Red Spring

Apparently the late freeze nipped some leaves

so we have Autumn and Spring

at the same time.

Late Snow

Which Way Did He Go?

I seem to have an ability to find and photograph empty footgear.
These items were outside a leather shop.
I wonder if the owner ever came back for them.

Days Gone By

This barn leans a little more each year. The land's for sale and it probably won't be long before another relic vanishes. The asters will be replaced by lawn or parking lot and I'll stop wondering who the people were and what their lives were like when the haymow once was full.

Nearby

It took me years to get used to not being in Washington State anymore. I think when I took this picture of a driveway down the mountain I began to appreciate the area. It could use some volcanoes, though - and more waterfalls. Natural lakes would be nice.

Where is the Child?

I was with a friend near the North Carolina/Tennessee border when I saw these. No one was around. I'm sure there's more to the story,
but, as with many stories, I don't know the outcome.
