Bucolic Backwaters Near Home
A few of the images from my first year of digital photography remain. The rest were trashed when my hard drive went south, in 2001...ironically, while installing a CDRW drive so I could back up my imgages, so I wouldn't lose them.
I'll post a few of them, like this one...during this yukky NeitherNor season we're having this week.
This one is of "the Buffalo"...the most prominent geological feature in Floyd County (on the distant skyline). Our high school sports teams are the Buffalos. I particularly like the image conjured by the girl's basketball team..."The Lady Buffs".
The Buffalo is one unique piece of planet, protected by the Nature Conservancy (I think. I'll have to review the current status) and home to some very distinctive creatures. I've a trip planned for a hike to the top, third week of April, with fellow blogger Doug and another buddy also too old to be doing this sort of thing. You can be sure there will be pictures coming, regardless of which camera I am carrying by then!

Beautiful. Thanks, Fred. I enjoy your photos. This one reminds me of farms I see when I drive west of here, across a couple bridges and into the Olympic Peninsula, with hills and mountain ranges as backdrop. Sorry to hear about your incident with the deer - glad you are okay - and congrats on the links...!

Lacking in imagination, I can't get a buffalo out of your photo or "theirs"; but, I see sheep and cows and and a totally lovely scene. Their closeup of the plants is beautiful, too. Thanks for the photo and the link.

Ah, Fred. The pictures make me so homesick.
Give me mountains!
