The weather is looking very good for this week’s photo workshop in the Shenandoah Mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway. We’ll be starting off on Friday evening, hoping for a sunset, then sunrise either (or both) Saturday and Sunday, and possibly another sunset on Saturday, as well. Of course, these may be adjusted if the weather isn’t as good as predicted. After all, there are scattered storms moving into the area (which could be a good thing, depending on how that develops).

Meanwhile, this is Orchid No. 5 from our visit to Charlotte’s Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. I hope you enjoy it.
