I kind of already miss warmer weather (although it has reached 70 degrees in December already). I am ready to get out on some more water, the river, lake, pond, ocean what ever I can. I enjoyed getting to the beach when I could this past year but it was mostly a quick stop as I was out that way for work. This was the beach access at 89th street at Virginia Beach. It was the last street and access before the base.

Carter Mountain is like a staple weekend trip for the people I know in the fall time. You can drive up the mountain and pick apples straight from the tree. It can be a great time but you eventually realize that you have way to many apples in your bag and feel bad to waste them.

Big Meadows in Shenandoah National Park is a great place to walk in a meadows. If you are lucky you would come by some deer walking and eating in the area. There are two or three small areas of these trees some are alive and some are not. They are also covered by lichen. I captured this on some Holga 400 film with my Fujica G690bl at 100mm.
Walking in Bryan Park in Richmond is very relaxing. Not crowded usually and there are plenty of trails through the woods and have some ponds. When I took this picture I had just gotten a Fujica G690bl Medium format camera with the 100mm f3.5 lens. This image was captured using that on Holga 400 120 film. So far really like the camera but I need to get a strap for it and one that can handle thee weight because this rangefinder is large indeed.
I enjoy walking downtown after work if I can. Usually though I get out of work around 4-4:30pm and doesn’t allow me enough time to go home get changed and get to the city before it is already dark. There are a few days though I get out early and the summer is always nice as I have plenty of time after work before the sun sets. I was walking with my Konica Hexar AF this day with some Fuji Pro400h loaded in. Occasionally I see some old cars and some old rusty cars still being used parked downtown. I captured this in mid fall.
