Kathy & I just returned from an abbreviated version of our somewhat annual “Friends and Family Tour.” ‘Somewhat annual’ because it hasn’t been continuous, ‘abbreviated’ because we only saw a few of our friends and didn’t take quite as much time as we have in the past several years. But we saw some good friends, met a long-time friend in person for the first time, and generally had a nice week.
The first stop on our journey was Mabry Mill, a landmark on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. For good reason, the mill is one of the most-visited and most-photographed spot on the Parkway. We were fortunate to have visited on a weekday morning, so things were not too crowded, and the weather was a refreshing 70 degrees. Quite a departure from the upper 90s we were experiencing in Charlotte!
We’ve visited Mabry Mill dozens of times, and I have photographed the mill in all seasons. This time it was mostly snapshots, but I still ended up with a few interesting shots.
I’ll have more words and photos to post as I get through the week’s files.
I really enjoy those mill photos! Looks like an interesting place to photograph.
There is definitely plenty of subject matter there. Including some interesting people! 😉
Very nice series and thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the rest of the series. I really like the flowers as a nice touch.
Although I do usually stop to smell them 😉 I don’t usually take the time to photograph flowers. These were pretty irresistible!
