swamp skimboarding
We went to explore the headwaters of the Chickahominy River which is not far from our house. The skimboard attempts were semi-successful.

birch trees
I remain fascinated with these trees. Tried drinking their sap one time. It was not maple syrup.

The reverse of sports photography is trying to take pictures while driving down the road at 70 mph (112 kph). These shots are on the return trip from Alabama. Darkness called an end to the attempts at some point. I’ll make another post with the shots coming from VA to Alabama.

I love this building. Someday I will stop and go take proper photographs. It looks like it’s close enough to Ruby Falls to justify doing that before the building gets torn down. I have photographs of it going back a number of years so who knows how much longer I can delay.Time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister but boring pictures of strip malls.

I repeat that doing this with an 85mm lens from the car is an interesting challenge. You do see so many more things if you look.

I’m not driving.

pet photography may be my super power
Stealing the dogs’ attention.

Tired, low on food, low on water, or unprepared for a very strenuous hike, please turn back.
You have been warned.

Waterfalls and mountain streams.

big jump
He did land the jump and even made it back from the island.
