VMI New New Barracks




Where Lejeune Hall once stood at Virginia Military Institute now stands the newest section of barracks. It is odd to see the old building gone. Even more amazing is the fact that the newest section of barracks looks like the old ones!

Annual Kite Festival At Green Hill Park in Salem, VA












































































































































































Every year kite enthusiasts gather at Green Hill Park in Salem, VA. This was the first year I was able to join my brother-in-law and his family (and theirs) to enjoy the festival. When I arrived there were many participants just waiting for the wind to kick up. It was fascinating that the minute a breeze began kites popped into the sky. Just as swiftly the breeze would die and the kites would land. I was able to get some really nice shots of some kites. A few were quite large!

More Spring in Botetourt
















Have you ever noticed that closed tulips resemble Easter eggs?

Daffodils along 220 in Botetourt
















Needless to say I am WAY behind on my postings. I have a few PICS from time gone by to share; like these daffodils along Rt 220 in Botetourt this spring!

The Sky's on Fire! 11/03/2008

My office is on the east side of our home. I know this because the sun goes down on the other side of the building! On Monday night the third of November, when the white building across the street from me glowed an orangy pink, I knew there was one beautiful sunset just posing for a picture. These were taken from our third floor bathroom window. I do hope you enjoy them!

220 Toward Eagle Rock; Craig Creek & Ball Park Roads 11/02/2008

My trek this morning took me up 220 toward Eagle Rock. The sun brought the colors out in a magnificent way, even if the leaves have now passed peak. I was headed toward a bridge that I'd photographed last year, on Ball Park Road. My hope of getting the reflection of the colorful leaves in Craig Creek from the bridge were dashed (more like gone with the wind), but the bridge is still quite pretty.
