A picture may tell a 1,000 words but it still never tells the whole story. I’m going to take you on a journey back through the lens and out the viewfinder to tell you the story of the making of the image.
Dear Blog,
Sorry that I’ve been neglecting you. I know I’ve been paying way to much attention to your sibling, Gallery. I promise we will have to time together very soon. OK?
Love,
Rich
Day 2 of my trip to Roan Mt. came really early. 4:00am is not the time that I generally enjoy getting up in the morning, but the sun (& the other CNPA members) weren’t going to wait. Wisely, I had laid out all my clothes and gear the night before, so I was out of my tent and ready to roll within minutes.
It’s a good thing I had those extra minutes, because I spotted a few deer as I was leaving the campground & slowed down a bit for safety’s sake. Let me just say that driving in the dark at 4 in the morning on a strange winding road is difficult enough without the prospect of deer in the road adding to it. Anyway, I got to Carver’s Gap met up with my fellow nature photographers and headed up the Appalachian Trail toward Round Bald.
