It may rain on the homecoming parade...

It is currently raining in the High Country and while I would rather be out shooting, I am forced to remain indoors while I wait for Mr. Telephone Man to come fix my little internet issues. I took this photo of golden rod a couple of days ago while traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway.
On a family note: It is a big weekend for my youngest daughter who is a senior in high school. It is homecoming and SAT weekend. A tradition at the high school is for seniors to prance around in togos to school the day of the homecoming parade. Not sure how the administration is going to take this, ya know with the new dress code and all, but she and her friend left this morning, wearing their tie-dyed and polka dotted togos, ready at least for this particular test.
She seemed irritated this morning and would not let me take a photo of her this morning. The stress of tying a togo and make it look cute like you aren't wearing a togo was apparently too much for her.
"I'm just not in the mood for the camera," she said.
Instead, I found this shot a friend took of her a couple of days ago as they were playing around on a trampoline. It seems to capture her essence...
