Yesterday, I had the thinnest of excuses to grab a camera and go take photos at a local park.

Dragged out the X-Pro1 for a walk.

Old Orchard Birthday Escape

Four great days back in the mountains, but this time out in Ashe Co. at Old Orchard Creek. Also, the first sincere road trip for 57 in many years.

October 19, 2020 in travel

We had planned on being in the Galapagos this week—but then 2020 had its agenda.

Instead, the Galapagos gang ended up in an Airbnb up in Banner Elk, a few minutes from Grandfather Mountain. I'd never been before, and we lucked into nearly peak fall color.

I'd underestimated how important it is to get out of the routine.

Picking up a camera again was a nice bonus.

Normally, I'm in a hurry through Oakwood Cemetery. It's part of a few running and ruckking routes ranging from 5–10K. Today, Laura joined me for a less hurried stroll.

I'd seen these statues before, but never felt like I should stop and really take some pictures. Today I did.
