Here’s an attempt at stitching a panorama from several photographs that were taken with a slowed shutter-speed (for that smooth, white water effect).

Doyle Falls: Part 2
Doyle Falls: Part 1
Another brisk hike leads to another set of falls in Virginian mountains. I’ve posted photographs of two sets of falls along the Doyle River in Shenandoah National Park.
Shenandoah National Park
Traveling back from Jefferson National Forest, we stopped at Shenandoah National Park, photographing some of the breath-taking views along the ridge-top highway. A park ranger warned us of an incoming snow storm, which was expected to shut-down the park; the storm came later than predicted, so we weren’t trapped in the park, but when it did arrive, a light dusting covered the area… which was apparently the most snow received all winter… It makes me appreciate real winters.

A panorama of North Creek
A couple of photographs of the stream near our campsite stitched together.

Apple Orchard Falls
A brisk hike during a quiet Spring afternoon led Allison and I to Apple Orchard Falls inside of Jefferson National Forest.
Trout filled stream
North Creek is stocked with trout and it seemed to be a major attractant for locals. Although the stream is catch-and-release only, there was a freshly killed fish head in one of the slower pools of the stream, just after a fisherman left the area. Other than that gruesome image, the stream and riparian zone made for a excellent place to relax in the sun and read Four Fish.
Deer Trail
A short trail adjacent to the North Creek campground in Jefferson National Forest had a couple of interesting views, but was more interesting as a hike through some sunny temperate forest.
