Skyline Willy Nilly.

The Willy Nilly Friday linkup gives me an excuse to post some miscellaneous images. In this case, I'm posting some from Skyline Drive because I have an excess of those. It is near home and it's beautiful, so I go up there often.

Linkups/Blog Hops, or whatever you want to call them, provide a theme to inspire a post or a single photo. I'm linking to several today, including Floral Friday and Friday Bliss. I'm glad these have helped me form the habit to look for flowers to photograph.

I'm also including a picture of myself (taken using the timer on my camera) because I want to complain for just a second. I have an ear infection that has lasted almost a month. This morning I went back to the doctor so now I'm on a different antibiotic. I hope it works because I can barely hear on the right side.

Back to linkups: Weekend Reflections reminds me to look for reflections to photograph. Here I spotted some clouds on the rear window of my car.

That picture would have also worked for Skywatch, but I've got another one from slightly later that same day. Four people were viewing the sunset at Signal Knob Overlook.

Since that sky was beautiful, I'm including a bonus image of it. If you look closely, you can see a bright spot down in the valley. That's a bend of the Shenandoah River reflecting the fading light from the sky.
