Happy Holidays to all.


I am headed down to western North Carolina for my second ever family Christmas. Here I will be surrounded by my closest cousins on my father’s side.

I will also be taking my digital camera equipment.

I will be down in that region of the Blueridge and Appalachian Mountains from the 21st of December to the 27th.

I'm going to be visiting Mount Mitchell and Tabletop mountain.

From the look of it the opportunities could be amazing. Of course, this all is subject to Mother Nature’s wrath. Lol

Here are some links to help show how beautiful and majestic it is.

I do need to give credit to my friend at work for telling me about this area for Mount Mitchell “ I will be forever grateful”.

This next area is Tabletop Mountain and here are some links to showcase the area.

Yes, this area should yield some nice opportunities to take some photos.

I had to go back to my local camera shop and get a replacement head for my tripod. My local camera shop came through and stepped up to the plate. They gave me 50% off a new head. I'm super excited to try it out on this trip.

I'm taking my laptop with me and will be updating my blog.

Well happy holidays folks and be safe.
