With everything that has happened lately, I took a pre-dawn ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway to think and reflect.
As daylight and dawn approached, the beauty of our area emerged.
This was a grab shot with the Canon G9 camera that I carry in my motorcycle saddlebags. It reminds me that — even in difficult times — nature’s beauty can remind us that we have a lot to live for.
It also reminds me that I have neglected my photography for far too long. It’s time to get back to what I enjoy doing most and finally start to enjoy some of that relaxing life of retirement that we came here nearly six years ago to embrace.
Nice, Doug. I should get up more early if that’s what I’m missing. I’ve been thinking of you and your family and enjoyed your write-up on Floydfest this year.
I’ve never regretted getting up “too early” but have missed an awful lot on the few days I lingered too long. I’m glad you were able to get up and out and, what we all need, reflection time.
Hang in there.
Thanks for sharing the inspiring photo and note. It’s good to ‘look up’ and enjoy life.
Beautiful! That is what I miss about the Blue Ridge Mountains! Thinking about you and hoping things will look up for you. Hang in there!
