Green Rolling Hills of West Virginia

At last — in case anyone cares — here is documentation of my trip to West Virginia: eight days of hiking hiking hiking condensed into a six-minute slideshow featuring an appropriately bluegrassy soundtrack. All the photos were taken on Dad’s farm, except when I accidentally wandered off by following the wrong ridge. On my connection the slideshow takes a couple minutes to load, unfortunately. Once it’s ready for you, a little “play” triangle will appear in the lower left corner of the movie screen.

Next, below is a little time-lapse photo thing I put together, also with a lovely little soundtrack. If you try to load this at the same time you load the thing above, your system will choke. I took the photos from the deck of our house. Dad built that thar snake fence years ago:

And here are a few stills. This is my still-beautiful, nearly-80-year-old mother who gave birth to three odd-looking children:

Here is a picture Molly took of me visiting my father in Lewisburg:

And here is a picture Lulu took of me as I snoozed on the flight home. I found it by accident on her photo blog. I should sue her:

Highstep through the Haze: Scenes from Adulthood

Published by Ginna under The Great Outdoors, Video

So… let’s take a break from putting up my old childhood programs and return to the present.

Man, is it smoky here in northern California. Yesterday, Anna, Lulu and I hiked on Mt. Diablo, marveling at the absence of other hikers and at our inability to see clearly from ridge to ridge because of the haze. Four hours of getting lost later, back at sea level, we heard the news advisory: stay off the mountain because of toxic air from nearby wildfires.

Dry Leaves Trio Ginna & Lulu

We listened to frogs in a little pond. Make sure you crank your sound loud enough to hear the ambient bits in this video.
