Shenandoah Nat’l Forest

Soo… we got there are 6:30am.  Note to the wise: if you get there before the “gates open” you can drive on through and not pay a dime.  Score.  I wanted to be able to do my first photoshoot of the changing colors and after reading up for a bit, decided what kind of pictures I wanted.  I caught the sunrise and then we proceeded to drive from the Front Royal entrance through to the Swift Gap one.  Only some 60ish miles… but it took us about 8 hours.  I’m not the quickest person to picturesquely travel with; “Zomg… pull over.  See that tree?  Ooo, pull over now!  See that leaf!  Wow… look at those flowers!  I need to take a picture.  Dood… did you see that deer?”  You get the picture.  Attached is a collage of some of the best of the best and then one of my favorites that was taken at Dead Hollow Falls (or something to that effect).  There was a pro photographer taking a nice extended shot of the falls, and I would love to be able to do that but for some reason, I cant seem to make my camera do that anymore.  I’m gonna have to read the book.  Anyway, enjoy!
