Sometimes we need to be reminded the of the lessons we teach others. Welcome friends!  As I say every year, it is my favorite post of the year!  Generally I start these off with a bit of a family update, but if you'll humor me a conversation about photography first, I promise I'll get to the family update (though I have no idea if anyone actually reads these, or just come to look at the pictures - either is fine, really).

Views of Mount Fuji

The first time I visited Japan, back in 2018, I didn't quite appreciate how lucky I had been to see so much of Mount Fuji, and experience such nice conditions.  As it turns out, the mountain is often covered in clouds (you'll hear it being said that the mountain is...

Views of Dubai

Welcome back to the Middle East!  I mentioned last week that we'd be wrapping up the Middle East tour here on Picture of the Week in United Arab Emirates, a country I had been to previously.  This go around I only visited Dubai, and I have to admit, exploring it the...

Views of Qatar

Welcome back to the Middle East! Last week I mentioned that Saudi Arabia had been a new country for me this year, and while I really wanted to hang around and explore it more - I was frankly a bit intimidated by not knowing the language or understanding the cultural...

Watching the Milky Way Rise from Newfound Gap

The Greenbriar Schoolhouse at Night

So let me start by saying that I don't even know if I believe in ghosts, so if this story sounds a bit crazy to you - it also sounds crazy to me - and I was there.  LOL  Also, I have taken pictures late at night in the park's cemeteries, with coyotes howling in the...

Remnants of Wonderland

If you've followed along with me for the last couple of years, you've seen my love for Elkmont grow.  There are just so many cool things to photograph in that part of the park, not the least of which are the old chimneys.  I created this image last November, and was...
