Lost In Time
Away for a few days. Stepping back in time, easily a century. Highland County, Virginia. No McDonald’s. No chain restaurants. No traffic lights. Mountains ubiquitous. Total relaxation. And at the magnificent house where we stayed, many birds, including juvenile Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia sialis).

Blackening Waxcap
On the way to a babbling stream. Among the browns and plentiful greens, a surprise color. Shiny orange with subtle yellow streaks. Blackening Waxcap (Hygrocybe conica). In the mountains outside Monterey, Highland County, Virginia.
