A Late Autumn Walk

These pictures were taken two years ago, but then got buried in my drafts when I had a bad case of writer’s block and no inspiration. It was around Thanksgiving 2016. My mom was in Europe with her sister. There wasn’t much to do, so we took a walk. I don’t have any pictures from […]

Under the Blue Ridge Parkway

Driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway, we discovered a trail during a stop at an overlook.  The trail weaved through and around giant boulders, and followed the path of the Blue Ridge Parkway, underneath the busy scenic road. This stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway road is the Linn Cove Viaduct, which wraps around the […]

Clouds Above Craggy Gardens

Last October we took a trip to the Blue Ridge mountains and I never posted the last of the photos. Way way up, along the Blue Ridge Parkway‘s winding roads, tucked away between the tall mountain peaks, is a place called Craggy Gardens. On the crest that connects the craggy domes, Clouds fly swiftly across, often obscuring […]

An Autumn Day Spent Exploring

These pictures of from a fun Autumn Saturday, two years ago, spent exploring. They were taken on the same day as these photos that I used in an outfit post the other week. Me, Steven and his brother met up for some Chinese takeout and then went on an adventure to find a way to walk […]
