Big Rock Mountain Selfie with Dillon, Declan, and Blizzy
With the social distancing rules in effect, I decided to find a place that was still open for hiking and I would not likely encounter many other humans. Apparently my buddy Dillon had the exact same idea. He had arrived at the parking area less than a minute ahead of me! We kept our greetings at least 6-feet apart.
I was super excited to lay eyes on Dillon's son Declan for the first time. I probably should have just gone off on my own, but I just love photographing children and just could not resist documenting Declan's first climb up Big Rock Mountain!
Please Note: I never made physical contact and kept my distance. Many of these photos were taken using zoom lens technology and/or cropped. And if there is any truth that sunlight kills the virus, we had plenty of that on the day!
Here are some of the photos from our adventure.
