Whiteoak Canyon & Cedar Run Loop
Over the weekend, my husband and I went to Shenandoah National Park and did the Whiteoak Canyon and Cedar Run Loop. The trail was just shy of nine miles and had 2,365′ of elevation gain. This was definitely a challenging trail, but it was very enjoyable (during most parts). We started at the trailhead onContinue reading “Whiteoak Canyon & Cedar Run Loop”

There were several steep sectionsContinue reading “Shenandoah Waterfall Hike”

“Less” Pretty Things
Here are some photos I have taken recently of the “less” pretty things around Richmond. I am hoping to show the beauty in some of these traditionally “undesirable” subjects. Some of the animals pictured here are actually cute in my eyes, but I know they are not to other people. I know that reptiles willContinue reading ““Less” Pretty Things”
