Joining you in prayer for successful surgery and fast recovery!

Some have asked about Affinity Photo, and you might find this price attractive enough to go ahead and give it a shot. I use mostly LR6, not the subscription, and have limited use with Affinity.
Here's the link to the sale:

Beautiful! My wife and I visited there in '14, spent two days going through it. Such incredible craftsmanship throughout the cathedral. Did you happen to take the little trip down below to see the original baptismal pools this was built upon? I believe they said the pools date back to 400 BC.

Ya'll have missed it. It's a petrified Pileated Woodpecker.

Good luck! Return policy states that items on sale cannot be returned for a refund. Hope it works out for you!

Interesting tip. Never heard of that but I'm still pretty new, is that something you can do in LR?

Wintergreen and surrounding areas are beautiful.

Hop on the Blueridge Parkway (http://www.nps.gov/blri/index.htm) and take a ride down to Swannanoa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swannanoa_(mansion). You might like to take some shots of the grounds, I think for your dates, you miss the open house by one day (May 5th). The views along the parkway are beautiful as well. The Parkway is just up on the ridge above Wintergreen and is a beautiful drive in either direction.

If you have a day, and enjoy hiking, head south to Crabtree Falls, but also just north of you, along the parkway, is Humpback Rock visitor center and farm that gives a beautiful view of the Shenandoah Valley.

The drive along Rt. 151 at the foot of the mountain is a nice road with scenic areas along the way, old farms, barns, and such. 151 will take you south to Crabtree Falls. Staunton, VA is not too far away and is a beautiful small town.

Hope that helps!

I see you're located in Virginia. The James River State Park was just recently designated as an International Dark Sky Park. Virginia also has another state park with that same designation, I think it's the Staunton River State Park. If you're reasonably close to either of those, that might give you some dark sky options. Nice shot by the way!

Very well could be the same lens cut in half...ya gotta allow some room for the saw kerf and the clean up of each side.

My son and his g/f went for a week a few months ago. They stayed in local homes and had a wonderful - and safe - time. Never felt in danger, I'm certain that typical travel precautions are in order. Your guide will give you a ton of additional information such as safety as well as sites to visit. Look forward to your photos!

Yes! I forgot to mention the cemetery! (http://www.hollywoodcemetery.org/)

And another historical area is straight down 95 is Blandford Cemetery (http://www.petersburgva.gov/303/Blandford-Cemetery) and the old Blandford church there with it's original Tiffany windows. http://www.craterroad.com/oldblandfordchurch.html

Not too far from the Blandford Cemetery is the Petersburg National Battlefield self-tour where you can drive through the battlefield. (http://www.nps.gov/pete/index.htm)

And that footbridge across the James and over to the Manchester Wall is a great view too!

Dutch Gap has a great trail that might interest you! Not too far from where you're gonna be, but you'd have to get back over to I95 and come south a few miles. The trail is about 5 miles I think and mostly flat. Here's a website for information:

Something else that might interest you is that you're not too far from several plantations along the James, just east of where you'll be.

Go up to the top of the hog and click on search, put in the box the following (without the quotes): "why do I get the question mark in lightroom" and hit search, and have a look at some of those topics. Also, put in the search bar this: "how do I move files in lightroom?" (again, without the quotation marks).
Hope that helps.
