It's a beautiful fall day here in Virginia, and the Capital Weather Gang has declared peak foliage. I assume that means Shenandoah's entrances are all backed up with leaf peepers and hikers. Hope you're all having a good Saturday, whether you're at home or just hanging out like this guy.

It's #Wednesday, so that must mean it's #WaterfallWednesday! This autumnal delight is from the Rose River Loop in Shenandoah. It's the best spot in the park on a cloudy or foggy day!

"What the buck? Are you taking a picture of me right now? Delete that, I've got my mouth open!"

Deer are prone to embarrassment, but I feel like this would be less of a problem if they learned to chew with their mouths closed.

Yeah, sure, I'd be happy to hike the Appalachian Trail with you!

Wait, it's _how_ far to the end? Wow, that's, uhhh... alright, maybe I'll just do this bit then.
