It was a foggy morning … and kind of spooky, too.
The fullness of life is keeping me from posting as I typically do, but after 6 yrs of blogging with WP, I am committed to this space in my world. With a goal of returning to the norm later this year, I will for now, at least share my weekly image from Monochromia.
Willoughby Spit, nearNorfolk, Virginia
During a incredibly fun reunion with friends from college – 40 yrs ago! – I got to see this beautiful view.
How can 40 yrs have gone by yet we all look the same? 🙂
As I traveled home last Sunday, I kept hoping that I’d be able to stop and capture some of Fall’s gorgeous colors. With time running short, I pushed on to the house. I turned into the driveway and slammed on the brakes. Right there, in my own yard, were the colors I was seeking.
For my contribution to Monochromia this week, I converted the scene to B&W.
Pretty stunning either way, right?
Two hours ’til game time and the crowd is starting to fill the stands

After attending my first ever major league baseball game, we took the DC Metro to get back home.

Florence brought devastation to the Carolinas, and it will take a very long time for the land and the people to recover. In the mountains of Southwest Virginia, we were lucky in terms of flooding and power outages. This image was taken in Nelson County on the day that Hurricane Florence came through.
Florence though, was nothing like Camille, at least in Nelson County, Virginia.
On August 19, 1969, in the middle of the night while everyone slept, Camille stalled over Nelson County, Virginia, located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, dropping an astonishing 27 to 31 inches of rain in just a five-hour period. The sudden inundation of water caused an entire side of a mountain at Davis Creek to cave in, destroying 23 of 25 homes.
Camille took 153 lives in Nelson County. Property damage in Virginia topped a half-billion dollars, and it was a decade before the commonwealth got back to normal.

Back in June, we traveled to Las Vegas for the first time since early childhood. Included in a jam packed 48 hour weekend were a few moments at the pool, which is where I was captivated by the sun shining through the palms.

A friend and I traveled to Tallahassee for the Virginia Tech / Florida State game last weekend and during a tour of the beautiful FSU Campus, saw the famous statue of Osceola, the historic leader of the Seminoles, and his Appaloosa horse, Renegade.
We enjoyed Tallahassee and even better, won the game! Go Hokies!
