Confused?

No, just ready for a race. Seems that my self-portraits are nothing but me with race numbers, but I kind of like doing this. Gives me something to remember for races.

Up close and personal

I've had the opportunity to go to the North Carolina Zoo three times in the past couple of years, but not until recently did I get to see the giraffes get fed. It's quite an experience.

It's just me

Back in January, I thought I might start a series of self-portraits. That obviously didn't happen. Anyway, here's a photo I took of myself last summer after picking up a race number in Lynchburg. This was actually with my Blackberry.

Window seat

My dog, who is almost 6 this year, didn't stick his head out the window for years. All of a sudden in the past year, though, he loves it. This was on the way to a park on Easter.

Blue, blue skies

You'd never know that this is in a neighborhood with houses close by unless I told you that, which I just did. Otherwise, it's kind of like getting lost in a forest.

Spring in the mountains

I ventured to the Peaks of Otter over the weekend with the family and got some photos of Sharp Top, as if I don't already have enough. It's just such a great place to go though!

A summer running memory

While I was training for my second marathon this past summer, I took quite a few photos with my Blackberry on my runs. This is one of my favorites from an early morning in July. This is the Peaks of Otter in Bedford County -- it's a very similar spot to my Mile 100 photo from April 2010.

The combination of the sun coming up behind me, coupled with the fog made for a pretty decent photo. I'm so glad I had my phone with me to capture the memory of this run.

Craving Spring?

Enough of this stuff with snow and cold weather. In looking back at my posts, there's a lot of that. While I do love it, I was suddenly craving warm weather when looking through some photos I posted over on Daily Mile.

Looking a lot like Christmas

Nothing says the Christmas season like a little bit of snow. Yeah, I know ... Christmas was more than a month ago, but what's wrong with still being in the Christmas spirit? And this photo was a spur of the moment photo as I headed to a kid's birthday party in Lynchburg, Va., the same night of the Christmas parade in downtown.

If you look close enough ...

... it's not my wife's face that you see ... but instead you'll see me in her sunglasses.

I haven't posted in a while, but I think it's time I start again. Perhaps I'll do a series of self-portraits? We'll see.
