Spring schedule

Virginia's Blue Ridge

With winter passing along, our spring schedule is starting to fill up. There is a window of opportunity when the world turns green and the forests are in bud – yet not leafed over. Its a great time of year for aerial shots. And yet winter has its own rewards with clear dry air and accents of blue.

This shot was taken looking south towards Afton, VA as we headed over the Blue Ridge to shoot (an map – more on that later!) a timber stand in Albermarle County.

Happy Mardis Gras!
