Autumn's Arrival...

Chilly, rainy weather to nurse a cold by...the stacks of books, a warm grandmother made quilt and a cup of hot tea are my companions today...


I did complete this mint green baby sweater today in time for the annual NoSoKnit extravaganza...

The Past Ten Days or so...

Sunset at Smith Mountain Lake...

Produce on the Roanoke City Market...


A child's sweater I found on the side of the street in my neighborhood...


Two little friends enjoying the annual Greek festival...


A building in some disrepair...


Behind a house that reminds me just a bit of Grey Gardens...

A walkway across Williamson Road I use as I walk/run ~4 miles around the neighborhood...



Diner with a hot car parked out front...
Trees throughout my neighborhood...
Black walnuts I found on my way to class at the community college ...


Remove the outer shell...
Crack open the shells carefully removing the nuts...
My black walnut harvest...
And work on the motion assignment for photography class...

Fortunate Son

Heard this fellow last night on "Backroads and Blue Highways" - I couldn't help but think of the scene in "Farenheit 911" where Michael Moore is asking the government official about their children serving in the military...be cautious where you listen to this video - his opening statements may offend some...

Depth of Field



First assignment in the photography class I'm attending this semester - learning to adjust shutter speed and aperture. Using automatic settings is much easier...
