Mill in the Mist

Glade Creek Mill on a misty day

A misty autumn day in the W.Va. mountains. I was looking for a bright sunny day with the foliage all lit up. What I got was fog, clouds and a bit of rain for six hours. I drove five hours just to see and photograph this mill. I did photograph the mill and falls and everything in between. I’ve seen lots of pics with the sun shining bright and the leaves glowing in pretty colors, but this is my first with all the mist, so I consider it a winner.

War Bird Flyover

The Leesburg air show was cancelled this past weekend. To help fill the gap, the Commemorative Air Force provided some entertainment with fly-bys and rides. The above biplane represents US Coast Guard aviation during WW II.

Dolly Sods

Green Snake – Dolly Sods Wilderness area

Went to the Dolly Sods nature area in West Virginia this week. The sun came out making a cool and windy day a sunny cool and windy day. There were some birds out and about as well as this Green Snake. The snake was gathering some warm sunshine while stretched out in a Mountain Laurel bush. Not going to be many more days for this guy to take advantage of.
