Fragments From Floyd

Later this morning, after the sun rises, with any luck, through soft diffusing clouds, Ann and I will be hiking to a nearby waterfall. I'll carry camera and tripod, but more than likely, this will just be a reconnaisance visit to find vantage points, compositions and get an idea of when lighting might best suit the lay of the land. This is the kind of close-to-home adventure that will warrant another jot on that calendar last week's radio essay talked about. And maybe, later today, there will be pictures!

(The old milldam is on Goose Creek just before it meets Bottom Creek to form the South Fork of the Roanoke River. If it were a couple hundred yards upstream, we could include it in the lovely features of Floyd County. But it is actually in Montgomery. Click on the image for an enlargement.)
