Joining my photo friend Paula on a shoot.

While Paula did her client photos I walked around and ended up taking one of my favorite photos I titled Make a Wish.

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.

A- Asheville Rowing B- Bison and C- for Clyde

I had an albino hamster named Clyde, but this was Clyde NC. Surprisingly close to where I just was recently in Maggie Valley, NC.

What I learned about Blue Ghost

Leave the camera at home and just enjoy it, that’s what I learned. 

My shoulder is really sore after scuffling along carrying it in the dark for a few hours. I was after this awesome photo below which I did NOT take.

and after combining 8, 60-second shots, I came away with this. I should’ve done more shorter exposures or videoed.

A few stolen hours, a few sights were seen

I added the wood texture, well, just because I wanted to

This cold I’ve had seems like it will never go away, at least the cough and tired part. Grant you, I’m not coughing enough to try the Fisherman cough drops that were recommended. I’ve stopped the mega Vitamin C doses and seriously doubt I’m still contagious, so I’ll be venturing out in public again. It always bugs me when someone out spreading their various bugs about in places so I tried to stay home and not share. I’ve washed my hands so much they’re dry and itchy, but I think hubby has avoided this catching one.

Lake Julian, WNC Nature Center followed by Biltmore.

I’m months late in posting, so I’m going with the better late than never idea.

My friend June had checked out Lake Julian and she was game to show me what she found. Looks like a neat place especially if you happen to catch a skull rowing race. I didn’t see anyone on the water but I did hear, then spot a Piliated woodpecker. The railroad trestle is neat too. Although last time June was there they told her it was nice to walk out on it. She didn’t and was grateful when a train when over it while she was still there.
