Fall Colors

More pictures from our trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway.


This seemed more graphic to me with all the tree trunks going through the picture.

This tree was very lopsided because of growing on the edge of the road. The side by the road was very short and the other side, down the hill, was twice as large. I was very uphappy with its shape and compensated by going in close.

I tried creating visual interest by putting that branch in the center of the picture. Not sure if I did so.

I tried capturing the red, yellow and green in this picture.
The actual road of the parkway.

It's about time

I haven't posted lately because I haven't had much to say. I have wanted to gripe but decided against that since that isn't what this is about. I can't say I still won't use the blog to gripe in the future though.

Saturday, Todd and I went to Blacksburg for the Va Tech vs. Florida State game. It was a 3:30 p.m. kick off so we stayed in Roanoke last night and took a leisurely drive back to Richmond along the Blue Ridge Parkway and Route 60 today. When you get off the main roads, Virginia is really a beautiful state. Our goal was to find picture worthy fall colors. I can never duplicate on film what I see with my eyes. However, this picture came out how I imagined. I will share some others later and you can decide if they are picture worthy yourself.
