Fall 2012

Southeast US

Back to mostly familiar territory doing bluegrass festivals and getting a taste of southern food while getting to meet wonderful down to earth people who talk 'funny'.

Assateague Island boardwalk

Near Ocean City, MD. What we have here is a combination of people from at least 3 bluegrass bands doing an impromptu jam.

A summer home on a lake in western NC

Truck Show in Charlotte, NC. All of them, well except for the old ones, are daily working trucks.

Somehow I can't see this being used to haul diesel around

Remember 'Smokey & the Bandit'? Here is the truck still looking good

The old & the not so old. The red one is almost 60 years old.

Can you believe this!!! Like nothing has ever been touched

The outside is just as clean

The GRRRRR that makes them move

In the mountains near Ashville, NC

Turn around & this is the sight

A damp & chilly 30 something on the mountaintop. No view today

Fall colours only just beginning to turn along a section of the Blue Ridge Parkway

When one engine isn't quite enough, no problem, add two more. The VA State Fair, Raleigh, NC.

The Myrtle Beach, SC cleanup dept, airborne division, doing a flyby.

Best part of a bluegrass festival is the jamming after the formal show. Performers & amateur musicians get in there & learn from each other.

Hmmmmm, now what could be in here?

How about this fellow. He walked onto the property the day before.

What can be  said? Yes, it does exist. It will put hair on places you never knew it would grow. 

Here piggy piggy piggy piggy

She watched the pig roasting proceedings for hours

And then came the picking the thing apart

Just what everyone needs, a BBQ on wheels

Sisters. On the left, only 14.

Severn Marine workboats & Knapps Narrows Bridge

Our usual slip

No escape from home. Texting Jenny
