Fabulous fall foliage
I don't much care for summer in Virginia but fall is amazing. The leaves are beautiful and at times glow when the sun hits just right. Especially
against the backdrop of an azure sky.
I spend a lot of time in our little patch of woods admiring the colors. Sitting on my favorite stump and looking up, it's like a giant kaleidoscope. It's my favorite outdoor place to write. It's a vacation spot literally in my own backyard!
(Click photos to enlarge.)
I wrote this poem in third grade. Fall has always, and always will be, my favorite season:
In fall the leaves come tumbling down
Red, yellow, orange and brown
Of all the seasons I think that fall
Is my very favorite one of all.
-JPC, third grade.

Photos from the meadow
I took these photos a few nights ago after the rain. I love Queen Anne's lace and it looked so pretty with diamond raindrops. I love to photograph the meadow, there's always something surprising...I like the fly riding on a Queen Anne's lace bud. To some people my meadow is a batch of weeds but if you look closely there is a lot of life and a lot of beauty.

Homeless in Washington, DC
Two blocks from the White HouseHe lives in a box
Once he lived in a house
With windows and doors and clocks
Now his time is his own
But there's nowhere he can call home.

Cows in Hallieford...
Since we've lived in this county for just over 4 years now, I thought that I should get out and explore some of the side roads I've never been down. Glad I did, as I found a most unique scene. There was a "private property" sign which tells outsiders that this is not a public park and they're keeping the crazy to themselves. But I gotta say--I'd love to meet the folks who do stuff like this...

Gwynn's Island sunset
Yep, I spend a lot of time on Gwynn's Island--so fortunate to have it so close by!
Driving from my house to Gwynn's Island
I was curious how long it takes to drive over to the island. Instead of timing by mileage or time, I video'd the drive with my cellphone camera...

My wonderful husband of 31 years, Charlie! He loves being Captain of his boat! Here we are cruising on Queen's Creek, not far from the Chesapeake Bay.
