Today was the day we do our weird practice of “falling back” where we move our clocks back an hour so we’ll have more sunlight during the day. This will help it from still being dark outside at 6:00 AM - the time I typically get up. My body clock doesn’t adjust that quickly so I was up at about 5:00 this morning and was stirring around. I got a load of laundry going then went online and played a few rounds of Battlefield 2. I also adjusted all my various clocks and timers to get them to the new time. Thank goodness my VCR sets its time automatically coz’ that a pain to do manually. I got sleepy again but didn’t go back to bed until I could put the laundry I was washing in the dryer.

My home phone rings at about 7:55. I’m half asleep but one thought runs through my head - the drummer for today at church didn’t show and I need to be there in 5 minutes to warm up (we warm up at 8). Caller ID shows Kyle calling from his cell. As it turns out, he just needed to borrow my in-ear monitors as he left his in another person’s car. No biggie, I can just remove my earmolds from them and he can put on his foam ear things. Don’t wanna trade ear cooties you know.

It’s cold this morning.

The Kinlock falls really intrigued me so I got another, closer shot of them.

Downstream from the falls a little. I had to step carefully into the middle of the stream to get a good spot.

That’s the thought that came to mind as I felt winded from a short WALK in the woods today. My plan was to head out to Bankhead forest this morning to shoot some nature stuff. A big thanks to Eric for driving me around out there especially since he knew his way through the trails. His jeep was handy as well. He and his girls showed up right around 7 and we headed out. It was a crisp morning for sure… about 34 degrees. After about an hour drive we got to our first location. I scouted around a little to find a good spot to shoot from. That’s the tough part. I also realized that if I do more of this, I need to get a backpack for my gear instead of my regular photo bag as I really need to have both my hands free to shimmy around the terrain without busting my ass on a rock or falling into the water, both of which would suck (in a bad way).

Had a good time talking about all sorts of stuff and laughing about past experiences. Eric’s knowledge of the area was a great help as he explained the different places we visited and some of the background behind them. I’ll definitely be going back.

Spent the afternoon doing laundry, washing the car and working on photos. Check ‘em out.
