Humm . . .


I am having some kinda struggle with posting in this blog (or any other) and i've not the foggiest notion (isn't 'notion' a wonderful word?) what that is about. I know there are three things i want to do on a daily basis: photograph, read and watch some films i'm interested in. Anyone of those is most of a day's time, trying to get them all in in a day creates much conflict. Posting in the 'meandering' blog is the most effort in that i've got to get photos together that i think will say or tell a story i want to share. 

Humm, perhaps that is part of the key ... to view or envision each each photographic shooting as a story or journey i want to share in addition to shooting the kinds of photos i like.

The last couple of weeks we've gone thru a very cold (for this area, Asheville, NC) period which caused ice flows and frozen edges to the French Broad River that is only a half a mile from here ... a pleasant 15 min walk.

The river looked a bit like this three days ago:

As the ice froze along the edge and the river continued to flow it pushed the frozen ice into piles creating this neat looking sheets of ice. They are gone now.

This is after a slight warming and soft rain. All the white in the foreground is ice covered with a thin layer of water. 

Tonight is a freeze of 25º and the high tomorrow will be 30º ... so more water will freeze and tomorrow or Sunday (Sat night is 15º) when they may be even more ice.

  A week ago we drove to Bryson City where the Great Smoky Mountain Rail Road is located.  I heard about this mountain train ride some years...
