Last Saturday we went for an off-road ride, and I’m so glad we did. Autumn has finally done its thing around here. Every mountain I looked at was wearing a blanket of color: gold, rust, orange, and little pops of bright red tucked in here and there. I grew up …
Around 7 o’clock this evening I walked next door to drop off the dinner I’d made for my parents. On my way back across the yard, I looked off to the left and stopped in my tracks. Down where I was standing, it already felt like night. The trees right in front …
Woke up to fog sitting on the mountain above our holler this morning. From down here at the foot of the mountain, you could see the sun starting to burn through, catching the yellow and orange leaves while everything behind them stayed soft and gray. Fall is …

We made a quick run to the Dollar General near Ashcamp yesterday, and I couldn't keep my phone in my pocket. The autumn colors are finally showing here in the mountains. Gold and orange everywhere, with little pops of red and pink tucked in between. I snapped …
Last Thursday, I was at my aunt’s place in Elkhorn City, helping her set up a mesh network so the internet would reach both her house and her garage. After a few hours of plugging things in, moving nodes around, and checking the signal, everything was …

Yesterday I took a short walk, hoping to see the mountains in full fall color. Not yet. The trees along the road are starting to turn yellow, but most of the hillsides are still green. One orange tree near the top of the ridge got an early start on everyone …
I’ve been seeing a fun trend going around Facebook, so I figured I’d jump in. Here goes! And here’s the side-by-side: younger me (late 1990s/early 2000s) vs. me now.
Last night I stepped out into the back yard and the sky stopped me where I stood. The clouds were magnificent. Pink, orange, gray, and blue all piled up together while the sun went down behind them. Three birds were lined up on the power line, little dark …

I went out again this morning for Starbucks and breakfast, taking photos on the way there and on the way back along Indian School Road. My leg was still sore from earlier this week, and it showed. Last time this walk took me about 45 minutes. Today it took an …

Today's errand run turned into more than just picking up meds and Starbucks. Walking down Indian School Road near my partner's place in Albuquerque, a few things along the way caught my eye enough to stop and take some photos. It's been a while since I've …
Something caught my eye out the kitchen window this morning — a hot air balloon drifting past with a scatter of birds crossing the same patch of sky. A bit later, four more balloons turned up, scattered across a grey morning sky. Two balloon sightings before …
I flew out to Albuquerque, New Mexico on Friday night. The airplane was above the clouds, and I saw this beautiful sunset beyond them. There it is — the last orange line.
I took this photo last week in my lovely small hometown by the bridge. I always find myself captivated by the beautiful scenery there every time I cross the bridge—it’s just so breathtaking.
I was sitting under the porch and saw our dog, Tinkerbell, looking down at me! How adorable!
Wild violets taking over the yard like they own the place. That deep purple against all that green is pure Appalachian spring. The woodpile in the back just makes it feel more like home.
Dinner’s on the stove. I looked out the window and saw everything buried under a fresh blanket of snow. The trees and the fence line — quiet and white. There’s something right about cooking for loved ones while it’s still snowing outside.
