My best image from the January 21, 2019 lunar eclipse.

The early December snowfall provided an opportunity for a quick flight around the neighborhood this morning. Our driveway is cleared. When will the street be?

The weather forecast for our area was 2 to 3 inches of snow. We ended up getting eleven. Forecast models were not very accurate this time.

Here is a view of the northern Shenandoah Valley from the ridge coming out of Fort Valley. This view is looking east from the Kennedy Peak trailhead.

The river visible in the middle left is the South Fork of the Shenandoah.

The ridge in the distance is part of the Shenandoah National Park.

The gap in the ridge at center left is Thornton Gap where US 211 crosses the Skyline Drive.

The peak on the center right is Stony Man Mountain.

The peak on the far right is Hawksbill Mountain. It’s elevation of 4,050 feet makes it the highest point in Shenandoah National Park.

Crabtree Falls, the highest vertical-drop cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi River, is located in Nelson County, Virginia. It’s six miles off the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway near milepost 27.

Crabtree Falls features a series of five major cascades and a number of smaller ones that fall a total distance of 1,200 feet.

A parking lot with a daily parking fee is located on State Route 56.

This old dead tree was still holding its ground on the beach at Little Talbot Island State Park in Flordia.

Replaced a four-year-old 3rd generation iPad this week. Major performance improvement with the iPad Pro. Shoots and edits 4K video. Impressive.

These new $40 headphones from ADV.SOUND really sound great for the money. Love the braided cords. Very substantial.

These will be in my ears on my bike rides.

A spectacular sky this morning on the way to work. An iPhone shot taken out of the sunroof of our car.

I saw this tarantula while hiking at Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument in New Mexico last month. First time I’ve ever seen one in the wild.
