The New River.
Around these parts, folks like to claim that the New River is one of the oldest rivers in the world. Whether that’s true or not is argued by geologists and historians, but it really doesn’t matter.
We sure do love our river.
Please visit Life on the Bike for more images of the New River surrounded by the beautiful colors of fall.
As I walked around the house one evening this past week, I saw the setting sun shining brightly on the leaves of this small tree. As my friend Gary says “right time, right place”.

Have an enjoyable weekend, whatever the weather and whichever hemisphere you’re in!
It’s not uncommon to hear people describe B&W images as dramatic, moody, even ominous. Yet the day was bright, the sky a deep blue, and the grass so green under the shining sun, and my goal was to reflect that in this image. How’d I do?
Each time I drive up the dirt road to visit my friend Cherie, I look at this barn. I can’t tell you how often I’ve taken a shot and just how often it didn’t work. This time, though, the light was right. Check out the color version on Life on the Bike and Other Fab Things and let me know what you think.
The Salt Pond
Vacation and another early morning walk, this time along the Salt Pond.
Seriously! How could a person not feel more peaceful just by gazing upon this reflection? I try to remember this lovely scene as I balance the demands of life and while I may not always balance them as perfectly as this reflection, I do know that life is good and I am fortunate. I hope the same for you.

Depsite the rain and cloudy skies that I encountered while riding through the hills and hollers of Kentucky, I was none the less, struck by the beauty of the area. Walking into the mist during an early morning hike in Breaks Interstate Park, I was surrounded by the quiet sounds of morning in the woods. The light coming through the trees let me know that the canyon was not too far off, but once I arrived, I had to use my imagination as to what lay before me. No disappointment though … just peace.
The return to work, and life in general, has so far been a barrier to sharing the tales of my recent travels. I will get it done, however, and I’ll hope you’ll come on over to Life on the Bike and Other Fab Things to ride those roads with me.

Several evenings a week in my small city, it’s possible to find folks picking up their instruments and creating beautiful music. This past Friday, I had the chance to capture the sight, if not the sound, of that music. The hands fascinate me, the way they move, almost effortlessly, over the instrument.
If you’d like to see some more images from that evening, please check out Local Music at my original blog Life on the Bike.
And please visit the blogs of the other photographers on Monochromia. They make some pretty great music with their cameras!
