Searching for Inspiration Wherever I Can

I've been in the mother of all writing slumps for a while now, and it's been bugging the heck out of me. Part of me wonders if I've just burned out a bit and need to recover. If that's so, though, it hasn't stopped me from searching for inspiration wherever I can. Here are some pics of my efforts...

Whenever I come to places like this, I wonder why I don't just stay... #hikingadventures #travelingram #traveler #traveltheworld #travelpics #travelgram #shenandoah #shenandoahnationalpark #goshenandoah #travelphotography #traveller
