Bobcat Snow Walking

Bobcat Snow Walking

A beautiful grey white and brown bobcat is walking through the snow during a winter snow storm. This is an amazing looking cat especially in the winter snow. These types of cats are fairly elusive and not normally seen in the forest, as they tend to stay away from people as much as possible.

Purple Mountain Majesties

Purple Mountain Majesties

No wonder these are called the Blue Ridge Mountains. Early in the morning from one of the highest peaks this picture was taken in subdued sunlight thanks to the overcast clouds. This reminded me of our the song AMERICA – “O beautiful for spacious skies,: For amber waves of grain,: For purple mountain majesties: Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee”

Mabry's Mill HDR

Mabry's Mill HDR

Mabry’s Mill found on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. This picture was taken early in the morning before anyone was at the mill. We actually slept in the car for about an hour until daylight and then just as it was light enough we began taking pictures. Praise the Lord for the opportunity to capture this with such still water.

Autumn Clear Water Waterfall Landscape

Autumn Clear Water Waterfall Landscape

Late in the evening and with several miles to go uphill from the White Oak Gorge we are enjoying the beauty of this area. The water is wonderfully clear and the sounds of the waterfalls are very tranquil. Combine this with the surrounding fall foliage and landscape this is a literal paradise.

Autumn Forest Creek Waterfalls

Autumn Forest Creek Waterfalls

Several miles into White Oak Canyon this little creek empties just below the last of the six waterfalls. This is a very beautiful place especially with the fall foliage surrounding the area this time of the year.

Autumn Country Barn

Autumn Country Barn

A rural country autumn barn in West Virginia surrounded by the wonderful colors of the fall foliage. This scene makes me wonder of the years gone by when a country farmer worked out of this barn and the years it has provided shelter for his farming needs. It will not be much longer and all of the remnants of summer will be gone and winter will be knocking at our door.

Red Autumn Maple Leaves Water Drops Moss

Red Autumn Maple Leaves Water Drops Moss

Two red autumn maple leaves with water drops from a recent fall rain. These were found lying upon the moss during an overcast autumn day. Sometimes the Lord’s magnificent art is displayed in some of the smallest details. Imagine how small we seem in His sight yet, we were created in His image and He knows the very hairs on our head.

White Oak Canyon Waterfalls

White Oak Canyon Waterfalls

The upper White Oak Canyon waterfalls. Looks like we are a little past peak foliage time or rather that the leaves have fallen due to the wind here at the top of the canyon. Down inside the canyon where the winds cannot blow as hard, there is much more fall foliage. Although there is much surrounding color in this waterfall picture taken from the cliffs across from the waterfalls at around 100 feet high.

Autumn Stream Falls HDR

Autumn Stream Falls HDR

An autumn stream HDR image deep in White Oak Canyon. The fall foliage is in peak display down in this protected area from the blowing winds which are responsible for many barren trees this season. This was taken without a filter because of the low evening light. We still have about another 4 miles to hike out of here, and ended up walking the last mile completely in the dark forest.
