A picture a day is a worthy, wonderful, awesome blog project.

But that's not what I'm going to do. :)

I already have a ton of pictures. I don't think I need to take more just to have them on a blog. So, I'm going to take a different approach. I'm going to post pictures I've already taken and tell the story behind them.

I love pictures. I love people. And I love writing. Hopefully, this will work out well for all of us.

My goal is to publish one post a day. Some of the posts will be long. (I am prone to verbosity, after-all.) Some of them will be short. My wish is that each picture-story will help me share the ongoing story that is my life.

That and you'll think I'm cool. :)

Day 56 - The Valley Below

Some days are just stressful and hard.  I feel like I've had more than a few of them back to back and am feeling weary and tired. 

This picture was taken from the Blue Ridge Parkway not too far from my house.  Raven's Roost is the name of the overlook.  It's lovely any time of year, but Fall is my favorite. :)

It makes me think of the Caedmon's Call song that says:

This is the valley that I'm walking through
And it feels like forever since I've been close to you
My friends up above me don't understand why I struggle like I do
My shadow's my only, only companion and at night he leaves, too

Down in the valley, dying of thirst
Down in the valley, it seems that I'm at my worst
My consolation is that you baptize this earth
When I'm down in the valley, valleys fill first
