inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, ‘This is what it is to be happy.” ~ Sylvia Plath
Our stop at this beautiful Tanawha Bridge on our way to Rough Ridge. As you can see this is my favorite bridge in the mountains.
The fall semester is well underway at UVA but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on our local natural beauty. I think this young lady has found a good balance.

This ranch land is just a few miles east of Tuggles Gap, Floyd County Virginia. The rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains are very scenic and ideal for raising cattle.

What the Fog! :-)
Sometimes when you lose your way in the fog, you end up in a beautiful place! Don't be afraid of getting lost!

They say home is where the heart is
But my heart is wild and free
So am I homeless
Or just heartless?

I think now that I’m in the autumn of my life, and I’m getting a chance to look back at my past, I hope I have made a difference in someone’s life, brought a smile to someone’s face, given of my time, leaned over to pick someone up, spoken words of comfort, and given of my heart until it hurt. For in life, these things are the most important….

for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
View on my farm this morning, about 5-6 inches of snow fell.
Some parts of Virginia received over 12 inches.
The temperature the next morning is 11F (-11.6C).
I added fall color to my summer photo hoping it might make it a bit cooler around here! :)

A setting looking to the southwest while taking in views across ridges present at the Crescent Rock Overlook. This is in Shenandoah National Park along the Skyline Drive. My focus in composing this image was the sunset lights present in the skies with the colors varying from reds to purples. I therefore decided to angle my Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera downward, bringing the horizon lower into the image. I still liked the nearby ridges and how they some foreground interest but kept them more in shadows to keep more focus on the lights and colors in the skies above.

the forest for our
children, grandchildren and children yet to be born.
We must protect the forest for those who can't speak
for themselves such as the birds, animals, fish and trees.
