LONG TIME SINCE LAST POST

Crazy me with a mountain cabin that I sometimes enjoy renting in the background.

Mr. Copperhead.   I seldom see these during the day but see them quite often in the early evening as they begin to move about to hunt.


This is the same Copperhead a few seconds after the first shot.   Notice the tip of my hiking pole in the bottom right.   It is holding a leafy plant out of the way so as to expose a better picture of the well camouflaged Copperhead.


Mrs, Bear  just off Old Rag Saddle Trail had a cub with her but they  wandered out of sight before I could get a picture.


A hollow road leading to the cabin I like to rent.


Mountain Laurel in bloom.


Sunset and rain clouds.

Downpours over Nicholson hollow seen from Old Rag summit.

Enjoy the following pictures from Old Rag summit.   A kaleidoscope of changing views.    Over the changing seasons and changing moments I have been continually profoundly nourished,
