July at Shenandoah River State Park


1. It was hot today (100° F) but I went to the store in the late afternoon. Then I made a stop at Shenandoah River State Park, where the temperature didn't seem as high. The view from Cullers Overlook is always a treat.
Skywatch Friday.


2. I found the park rather quiet, partly because it was late in the day, but also because the oppressive temperatures kept many folks inside. I took a short walk down to the canoe launch and took a few pictures. No one was there.


3. The trees along the riverbank tend to show exposed roots. The water has washed away the soil on the side facing the water.

There wasn't much color in the image so I made it Black and White.



4. Wildflowers are doing well this summer. I guess native plants are hardy in our hot weather.



Have a nice weekend. Stay hydrated.

  5. Lovely quiet photos, nature is boiling along. I hear cicadas and a few birds, only one robin is hunting this morning outside my porch.

  9. It's been a scorcher everywhere lately, or so it seems. The wildflowers are beautiful.
