I stopped by Looking Glass Falls on the way back from Mt Pisgah yesterday and grabbed a quick phone long exposure.

Went back up to Mt. Pisgah today for the first time since Helene. It was like visiting old friends. Maybe one day the Blue Ridge Parkway will reopen a little further…

I captured a pretty Asheville sunset tonight leaving work. I like them much better at 6:20 than at 5:20…

The mountain across the street had snow or rime ice on the treetops this afternoon. Happy solstice!

Thank you for the likes and reposts. My sky had been clear but too windy for pics. Now cloudy. At least I had some luck last night. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour

Happy Thanksgiving!
As with everything in Asheville, moments of sun, periods of clouds. We’re thankful for water, power and all the things. Hope your day is pleasant and restful however you choose to spend it.

Okay I’ll bite. It’s ironic this blathering idiot with no discernible skills screams about hypocrisy when 100s of former real journalists were purged from espn and others in favor of his ilk. It’s only about the screaming

So the sky was amazing over Asheville this morning …

Probably not the mood you’re expecting, but this is one of the 1st shots along the Blue Ridge Parkway the day it reopened after cleanup from Hurricane Helene. We’re okay and grateful. But lots of neighbors aren’t. Still coming to grips with devastation but also doing our best to recreate “normal”

I heard tremendous squawking in my backyard this morning, so grabbed my camera & ran outside. Two Red Shouldered Hawks were fighting - or romancing (hard to tell 🤷🏼‍♀️) - just outside my fence. It didn’t last long & this was the only clear shot I was able to get, but Holy Moly! What a sight!
