I only learned recently that the Oak Rock trail at Umstead State Park in Raleigh is apparently named after this oak growing out of these rocks. The naming is pretty accurate.

The coloring on this tree’s bark is so weird. From Staunton River State Park in Virginia. #photography

My neighbor is renovating their house so I took a few test photos of this equipment with the new medium format camera.

I’ve been sharing a lot of black and white photos recently, so here’s a photo of Ginger the cat to break it up a bit. 🙃

First captures from my new medium format camera. Mostly out testing just to see if it worked well. Will need lots of practice! This is the boat house and small beach at Lake Crabtree.

The entrance to Raleigh’s Union Station provided some great shadows!

It’s simple but taking a photo towards the sun in the shadow of a tree will always look cool to me.

I really like when my hikes require a creek crossing. This one must have previously had a bridge.

Went hiking in the rain and a small creek started forming along the trail. It’s much more muddy when hiking in the rain but need to remember to still go!

These mushrooms look uncomfortably close to those infected in “The Last of Us”—I’ll just take this photo and continue walking.

These little stumps(?)—I’ve just been calling them treelings—in front of a murky pond are along my morning hikes.

The bridge over a small pond for the miniature train ride around Pullen Park in Raleigh. I was trying to capture the light reflecting off the water onto the bridge—looks really cool.
