Wild Wood Wanderer

One of our family’s favorite walks is along Ellerslie Road, near Millwood, VA.  It’s about 6 miles round trip.  Usually I prefer hiking on a path, but this road is so little traveled with such beautiful views, it’s become a regular walk.

 This also makes for a fun kayaking/biking trip.  There’s a public landing under the bridge at Route 50 and another near Locke’s Mill.  It’s a very nice, easy section of the Shenendoah - great for beginners.

I forgot that Mr. Davenport had posted the Christmas Pageant from last year on youtube.  Though the kids get older and the costumes a big more bedraggled, this is pretty much how it’s been for years:

Also, make sure to check out Tom’s folkstreams.net website for a lot of great cultural films from many talented directors.

Great hike, great camera, great photo editing software…

 I’m still getting used to saturation and hue.  I have a feeling they are in the same category as chili powder, red lipstick, and songs by the B52’s…a little goes a long way.

Photo editing is a huge time hog.
