While hiking House Mountain with a friend two Fridays ago, we came across many turtles. I love the spectral reflections in the turtle’s eyes in this particular shot.

For those of you who aren’t in the habit of checking my Flickr stream, I thought I would share this slideshow of photos from my Friday Hike of House Mountain:

Today, David and I hiked House Mountain located in northeast Knox County. We enjoyed great conversation and were treated to vegetation and views quite uncommon for a park so close to a metropolitan area.

On Monday, while we were hiking through the Cumberland Gap, Bryan and I quickly swung into action to perform a daring rescue of Matt, our faithful guide and Sherpa.

Bryan, Charles, Matt, Mike and I hiked the Tri-State Trail up to the convergence of Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky. Check out the Cumberland Gap State Park website for more details about this area.

As I haven’t had a new picture to post during the past day and a half, I thought I would post this picture from a hike to Charlie’s Bunion that Beth and I took back in October.

While I was developing the new design for my website, I used this photo as the sample photo in the “Latest Picture” section on the home page. Therefore, I thought it appropriate to share this picture in its original spot for a day.

I’ve found that outdoors shots like this one look great with the new theme for my blog.
