My wife says this is a pipe vine swallowtail. They were swarming the native pink azaleas along the mountainside.

Took Mom and Dad up on the Blue Ridge Parkway today. It´s hard for them to do a lot of walking, but they loved the trillium, wild geraniums, dogwoods, and native pink azaleas all blooming at different elevations along the road and overlook paths.

Came home from my outing via the parkway and wow has it greened up quick..

I shot a few rolls and sheets of #IlfordFP4 over the last few weeks, so I'm finally ready for a few entries for #FP4Party.

I'll start with a shot from my #Graflex in/near #Asheville. This particular shot was from an overlook on the #BlueRidgeParkway heading toward Craggy Gardens. Shot with a red filter. The 3000 px resolution doesn't do it justice…zooming in on the treeline on the full 4x5 scan is awesome. I've included a snippet of a screenshot as an example.

Part of the filmstrip I run in my head when grief feels like too much.

This was taken in December 2021, overlooking Thunder Ridge from the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. The clouds moving through the mountains and that quiet, watchful tree have stayed with me ever since. Some images don’t just live in an album — they become places the mind returns to for comfort.

We drove home yesterday, but hiked the Craggy Gardens trail and ate lunch at White Duck Taco Shop before hitting the road.

Ran across this photo I took on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, near Fancy Gap on July 30, 2024.
Damn I love fog. And the color of trees through fog. And the Blue Ridge Mountains.
