Blue Ridge Wanderings

There are Northerners are among us this weekend. Some photos:

Morning moonset over Avemore

How much is that Luke-man in the forest? (The one with the waggly tail?)

Base of Crabtree Falls at the Tye River at sunset

Acorn foraging

More to come, hopefully documenting a required visit to Aunt Sarah's Pancake House and horse farms.

Weekend Roundup

Foggy Saturday morning in the Shenandoah, following days of epic flooding.

A new hiking trail, replete with mountain scapes, critters, and backyard viewing potential. We even scoped out some bittersweet and went back today to "liberate" a few twigs.

And, finally, evening fun at the tot lot. Intersperse the weekend with some choice noming, a handful of migraining, Jersey Shore season one, online pillow shopping, and stacks 'o work, and you have a sense of the fascinating times of Began, October 2010.
