Today I finished up a mountain tract cruise. 760 feet of elevation change.
When I got out of the truck it was calm, clear, and about 60 degrees. As I climbed the mountain wind started blowing, clouds rolled in, and by 1:00 is was 35 degrees with 25 MPH winds and sideways sleet and rain. 30 minutes later it was back to sunny skies, albeit windy.

This 4-year old plantation got positively hammered in a wildfire last year. Just got replanted.
Looks like the fire was flat out walking the dog through those young pines. JC4977 Fire vs Unburned by FredMan, on Flickr JC4977 Fire Spring Head by FredMan, on Flickr |

Couple cool ones from the weekend. These are edited pretty moody, but what the hell I like the look.
My buddy is shooting the AR- he doesn't own his own... yet. D3200 with a 35mm prime. I have an 18-200 lens arriving this week, hoping to have some fun with it this Spring. Attached File Attached File |

The 35 is a star and dirt cheap. Keep up the good work; and don't be shy about posting! You're on the path to something worse than BRD (black rifle disease): BCD (black camera disease).

Does this look like mange to anyone? Also why would it only affect her face? She has two small cubs out with her.

Our anniversary was this weekend, and after a bunch of back and forth we decided to go camping for the weekend.
I seriously could not have had a better weekend. Friday's sunset was beautiful. Dinner (Nebraska raised Ribeyes and lobster) was absolutely perfect (even though I forgot the meat thermometer). The old truck ran great, and the dogs behaved. We had one night without the kids, and then picked them up to join in on Saturday's fun. We hiked about 20k steps per day and just generally had a nice relaxing time. I seriously don't think I've ever had a weekend where everything went so well. The sunset on our anniversary: Attached File Then of course late Friday night the sky took on a faint tint of red. I thought maybe there was a brush fire near by. The camera told me I was wrong! What an incredible treat on our 10 year anniversary. I've never seen the Northern Lights, and the timing of this was pretty incredible! Attached File Got home today, unpacked the stuff, and finished a few household chores followed by a great dinner. Hands down one of the top 3 weekends of my life. |

So I went to see some music on the James River yesterday, and headed out early so I could do some river trail riding and take a bunch of pics.
Checked the D500 battery before I left, saw it was about half full, and swapped it for a full battery. Or so I thought. I get to my first location, pull the camera, and what’s this? No focus? Hmmm, maybe the lens isn’t seated. Yep, it’s seated. Oh! No power! Seems I’d swapped the half charge one for the dead one I hadn’t charged yet. Oh well, at least I had the GoPro.
