FALLING ACORNS, MIGHTY OAKS

On the road again…

Today was a day on the road again.  I was happy to find myself back on the road, but I was quickly exhausted since I can’t seem to handle that long drive without doing something else between now and then.  I should have more than a month without any work travel, so I’m excited about that.

Today’s journey took me to Black Mountain, North Carolina for the fourth time. I’m writing this hunkered down in a hotel with Last Chance U (a Netflix original documentary) blaring on my iPad.  I’m currently in love with that show and plan on reviewing it when I finish.

Sometimes the best lessons come from kids, even if the syntax drives you crazy.

I have had someone recently ask me what I use to shoot with. I am a big believer sometimes that the best camera is the one in your hand, but we all know that sometimes what’s in your hand is superior than another option. I recently got a Canon 80D to replace my six year old Canon Rebel t3. Then there are times where I have my iPhone 7 Plus in my hand, so that’s what we get.

I was slightly obsessed with the stone walls today.

Before I stopped in Black Mountain, I stopped in Old Fort, North Carolina for gas. The gas station was like a blast from the past. I certainly had never pumped gas at a pump like that. It was photo worthy, for sure.

I didn’t haul out the 80D for this because I didn’t want to be awkward.

Probably won’t see anything this interesting on the way back tomorrow.
