The intersection of rainy weather (finally!) and obligations unrelated to hiking and photography means that it might be a few more days before I can get out to take photos for Three Views.  And depending on how strong hurricane Joaquin is when it passes near or lands in the mid-Atlantic area, one or two of those spots could be flooded for awhile.  It’s going to be an interesting weekend, weather-wise.

This looks a lot better than last night’s map, which showed the storm moving right up the Chesapeake Bay.

Here’s a still-life of a blade of Chasmanthium latifolium (a native grass) in flower, just because.
