To the Bat Cave!

We took a long weekend trip to Bat Cave, NC, up in the Hickory Nut Gorge. I can’t recommend the house (Creekside Mountain Retreat, privately rented) enough if you’re looking for a quiet place to stay.

A bit of snow shoveling was required to get down to the deck and backyard:

We went into downtown Chimney Rock on Saturday. I love random signage.

2010, a photo a week

I’ve seen a lot of discussion on some photography sites about doing a photo a day for an entire year, and I have to say, the idea is daunting. I’ve done several photo-a-day months, and I’ve enjoyed them enormously, but the pressure to just take something already is sometimes overwhelming. I’ve committed to a lighter version of the same concept and will be posting a photo a week for 2010. No particular subjects, and a great number of them will probably be cell phone camera photos since that’s often what I have handy, but at the end of it, I hope to have something that shows a taste of what 2010 was like.

For our first weekly photo, I’ll start with (naturally) Paisley. It’s been ridiculously cold, and while she has been quite comfortable through the entire business, she has taken to burrowing quite extensively in her blankets. Today, I found her with her fabric hat tipped over so she was in it like a little teacup, with her blankets all pulled down around her. Quite sensible, actually.
