Boring photo and a busy day. I wanted a high contrast range, this is a test of 9 stop bracketing and using PhotoMatix to combine, still prepping for Monday’s eclipse!

Yesterday I gave the PJ I class the Photo A Day assignment and explained the “Pickle Jar” – each week they get one free picture, the pickle jar.

Out of order, I somehow skipped posting it (not that is worth it, but the only thing I shot)
My Fall class schedule.

How to start a perfect day? I found this book my grandmother gave my great-grandmother in the mountain cabin published in 1985. Written by Earl Thollander it describes back road routes across North and South Carolina… so we decided to follow his route out of Blowing Rock.
I had driven a part of it a year or so, but didn’t get down to Globe, NC – Sunday morning at the Globe Baptist Church.
on his map there were several waterfalls marked, this photo doesn’t do this one justice, it’s not the waterfall but the swimming hole – I will be back!
Across the road was a pretty waterfall with several sections.
Even the bottom was nice.
Then it was time to work are way back toward an afternoon hike, running Forest Service roads and 221…
We skipped lunch on the road since it started raining hard, but cleared in time to hike the Boone Fork Trail Loop. Hike #29 #52hikechallenge
Hebron Falls on the BFT
and just a pretty spot on the trail. We said goodbye to my brother and sister in law as a heavy rain started and we drove home, stopping in High Point for a Mexican dinner. Just about a perfect day (If only I had the motivation to get out of bed and ride before we left in the morning)

It had been 6 days since I was in the mountains, time to head back. My first ever HOA meeting for our little cabin in the mountains and the rain held off for a ride on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
