Autumn, so many shades of…. green & brown.

The camera club went the night before to the Pixie Forest near Graybeard Overlook on the BRP. I didn’t make that trip, but we woke up to fog and had a day we could go goof together till about midday, so we headed that way.

Pisgah and the BRP. Skinny Dip Falls, Fryingpan Tower and Cradle of Foresty.

Hubby cut off work a little early one day this month and we ate dinner out, a rarity for us, at Hawg Wild in Pisgah Forest. Then to Skinny Dip Falls.

Showing Shannon Some Scenes

On my way out to my Aunt and Uncles to pick Shannon up, I had to pull over and take a few shots of the rime ice.

Real women shoot animals with a camera

The early birds. Sunrise. Waterfalls. Independence Day and pets on the 4th.

Why we celebrate.

We have neighbors that started their (illegal) fireworks in June. It’s gonna be a long week. I don’t think we’ll go see the fireworks this year. With week-long booms

“I don’t like sports”

If you know me at all, you know I don’t like any of them and even with my constant darn tinnitus they’re hard to tune out to read a book while the crowd is screaming into our living room. I can blame the lack of interest on my dad, who was game for a walk in the woods over sitting for hours watching other people play any game. When I was first married I had visions of blowing the TV out the side of our mobile home into the yard. It was quite the adjustment as the man I married played several sports and would watch any sport, English words or not. I was the opposite. The last one to be picked for a team because I don’t like sports, so I’m awful at them all. [insert flashback of dodge-ball here]
