My Dad’s favorite season was Fall. He always saw the good in things, so I’d be reluctant to argue with his choice. On this particular morning, Fall was going out of its way to be good and beautiful, and snapping photographs along the way was a delightful disruption of the daily commute. Even a line of transmission towers had turned to gold in the first light. He would have seen the good in that, too.

I’ve been spending this week in partnership with the Gold Wing, winding South primarily along Skyline Drive (Shenandoah National Park) and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Across the past several days I’ve heard from family and friends who are checking to ensure I am well (I am). For that I am deeply grateful. They have also asked about the website updates that traditionally coincide with one of my walkabouts.

My overwhelming amazement with a full frame camera sensor continues. Getting straight-out-of-camera images is remarkably simple by combining the Lumix S9 with film simulations created by RossAndHisJpegs.com.

4th of July holiday, yes, but it’s more about the friendship and people who love.

“It’s no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.”
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
Those were the words Alice used when replying to the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle as they asked her to tell of her history and adventures.
Those can also be interpreted as words to live by. What a wonderful way to approach life—to continually embrace change, to keep moving and growing, and to greet each new day with a perspective shaped and informed by everything learned along the way!

After 200+ miles on the Gold Wing yesterday, I was ready to trade speed for something slower and more deliberate. That meant riding the Can-Am Spyder F3 with the Panasonic Lumix S9 readily available from the storage area above the handlebars. I was now ready to pull over quickly, make rapid U-turns, and navigate dirt roads without hesitation. All images are straight out of the camera without edits.
Since this interesting place was still catching some low-angle morning sunlight, I maneuvered the Spyder along the dirt car path that passed through the cemetery.
I don’t know exactly what this spot is called or what purpose it actually serves. But along route 104 as you approach the Happy Valley Wildlife Management Area, this quick pullover always provides something different as it goes from lake to swamp to field across the course of the Summer.
There are plenty of roads to travel within this area, but many are a bit too rough for the Spyder. I stayed only long enough to enjoy one of the main roads while also ensuring that I didn’t bleed out from all of the mosquitoes.

Interesting to see what landed in the office recently. I’ve never seen a plant quite like this.
Here are all the details about the Sun Star / Ornithogalum dubium.
