"I wish that I had all the answers
And I could walk you down your road
For all the times those times you feel like you don't matter
There's just one thing you gotta know
You better believe, you better believe
Like my father said to me
"Just give it some time, look for a sign
And you'll be just fine"

--Train, 'You Better Believe'


I've been absent for two months from Flickr, and here is the reason why... I've moved back home. My photographic soul needed the country to live as I was being suffocated by the concrete jungle of suburbia which is known as Northern Virginia. As Brenda and I get settled I will be out shooting a TON more of the places I love..so bear with me for a bit and I will be back in full. I miss you all a bunch and I cannot wait to go through your wonderful images/shots.

My roots always keep me grounded
Roots, remind me where I'm from
Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots
I'm home...

-Zac Brown

I am home, back to my roots as a photographer.

**The birds actually did fly into this scene. I do not add elements to images. :-)

My focus lately is on the local scenes that surround me. For so many years while I was living out here before I was running this way and that capturing many wonderful places through my camera lenses, all while ignoring the remarkable scenery close to home.
