Unintentional double exposure. The blacklit faded bloom haunts..

Thank you Coko! Hope you and Ransom are well!

Looking Glass Falls in dappled sunlight and a few spring blooms

Visited Mount Pisgah and Looking Glass Falls Friday and was treated to beautiful spring views.

They're all over the complex. Soon there will be babies. My dachshund is scared of them 🫣

The redbuds are budding in Asheville!

Thanks Mel! Hope you're well!

long exposure of Looking Glass Falls located in Pisgah National Forest in Western North Carolina. The flow is steady but not at capacity.

I stopped by Looking Glass Falls on the way back from Mt Pisgah yesterday and grabbed a quick phone long exposure.

Hi! Hope you're well!

The damage was so bad. Trees felt like corpses lying in the woods. Just awful. I wasn't sure what was left, but am grateful much of it is...

Looking Glass Mountain in the distance in hazy skies as seen from the Blue Ridge Parkway this morning.

Went back up to Mt. Pisgah today for the first time since Helene. It was like visiting old friends. Maybe one day the Blue Ridge Parkway will reopen a little further…

A tree and parking lot illuminated by clouds ablaze by the setting sun.

Barren winter trees in the foreground and the sky colored red and orange by the setting sun.

I captured a pretty Asheville sunset tonight leaving work. I like them much better at 6:20 than at 5:20…

Be careful of the poptops

Goodness! What a glare!

Trees at the top of a mountain ridge line are covered in snow or rime ice today in Asheville, NC.

The mountain across the street had snow or rime ice on the treetops this afternoon. Happy solstice!

Thank you for the likes and reposts. My sky had been clear but too windy for pics. Now cloudy. At least I had some luck last night. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour

Just begging Luka to stop throwing balls off the jumbo tron and possibly practice free throws? I’m just really old tho

I’ll bet they’ve got a deal on purty orange shotguns with a T

Lake autumn scene with yellow leaves on one tree and another with none. From Asheville, NC.

Happy Thanksgiving!
As with everything in Asheville, moments of sun, periods of clouds. We’re thankful for water, power and all the things. Hope your day is pleasant and restful however you choose to spend it.

Okay I’ll bite. It’s ironic this blathering idiot with no discernible skills screams about hypocrisy when 100s of former real journalists were purged from espn and others in favor of his ilk. It’s only about the screaming

Happy Advent to you and yours! #HiBetty

Bob when I say you nailed it ... 😅

The good Rite II Episcopal accountants will be driving in the Volvos to coffee before Christ Sunday Mass
