Happy Father’s Day to everyone it applies to, and happy Sunday to everyone else. Ann and I went for a drive through the Parque Natural do Alvão (the Alvão Nature Park) last weekend so I figure sharing it today is as good a present as I could possibly give.

You might have been wondering about what happened to the story about our Mother’s Day trip to the Peneda-Gêres National Park that I’d promised, oh, a couple of weeks ago. Well, I thought that I made some decent images that day but . . . upon later examination, became extremely disappointed with my work. That then led to avoidance behavior. However, I’ve finally convinced myself to forget great photographs and just get on with the story. And I should do it before Fathers Day comes around and I start to feel guilty. So here it is.
