August Mountain Trip


I posted these deer pictures at Raleigh Nature as an antidote to some ranting about Ward Transformers and the PCB mess. Below is more from the trip that provided the images.

Cara and I camped at Doughton Park this August, browsing the Parkway up just
past the Virginia line. There is a related photo post over at Pecans &
Mistletoe
about the Brinegar Cabin and homestead. The turkey above was in
one of the farm fields common on this stretch of Parkway.

Above is a view of monandnocks rising from the Piedmont as seen from the Blue Ridge escarpment. Below is a selection of images from our hikes, including a large set of mushrooms.

When I was a bit younger I lived in a place where the back was a whole mountain, I'd always walk in the evenings and I liked to hang out there, I could see many animals and insects, it was amazing.
