That's My World Tuesday: Road Trip to Beford, VA and surrounding mountains from a few years ago

For this week of That's My World, I'm taking you on another road trip to the mountains.

This time it's Virginia (last week was the North Carolina mountains). This part of the Virginia mountains is close to the NC border much like last week the NC mountain trip was near the VA border.

While we were in Bedford, VA we drove to a place where we could go on a hike at part of the Appalachian trail and then another day went to the James River Park.

I had a lot of photographs I hadn't used yet from the town, park and hikes.

This post is rather a jumbled mix of shots from the road, trails, park, and town. The shot below is one I recall wanting to use before but I didn't like the wires or the obstruction across the tracks. I think it's a branch that was near where I was shooting and it ended up looking like it's across the tracks although it's not. Rather than deal with trying to work with the shot on my computer to get rid of the obstructions, I'm just posting it blemishes and all.

I find looking back through my photographs that I usually post a few shots from a trip and then forget about them, although frequently intend to go back and post more later.

Especially when it's an autumn trip I tend to focus on shots that show off the fall foliage but forget about other shots.

Even shots like the one above that show off the fall foliage, but more as a jumble, tend to be overlooked when I pick out shots to post.
