Rain falls in the Appalachian Mountains, covering the nearby peaks in clouds and mist.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Danger!
Watching The Big Kids
The view of this lava rock at the mouth of a stream and the two large outcroppings in the distance reminds me of a young child playing near the shore watching their older siblings swim out beyond their reach.
Kona Coast, Sunset, II
Another image of waves breaking against the Kona shore just before sunset. This one feels more serene than Kona Coast, Sunset, I but the two photos were taken within minutes of each other along the same stretch of the coast. The key difference being the length of the exposure. For this photo I used a 2.5 second exposure while the other was only 0.3 seconds.

Weekly Photo Challenge – On The Way
Island Of Wildflowers
On the way to Dark Hollow Falls, in Shenandoah National Park, I noticed this tiny “island” of wildflowers and moss growing in the stream.
If you click on the image you can see a much larger version of it.
Inside The Sycamore
From the other side this sycamore looks solid and nearly invincible. When walking around it you quickly discover there’s a gap at least 5 feet in length, exposing the inside of the tree.
Old Decking
This was wooden decking may have been part of a boat, long ago. Now it sits, slowly decaying along the shore of the river.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Shadowed
Several Anhingas rest on an old wooden structure in the middle of the James River, near Richmond, VA. The hard winter light created a silhouette effect.
