Frosty Morning Sunrise

Taken on a back road in Amherst County, Virginia; in the Blue Ridge Mountains…

Arnold Valley Trestle

Old trestle over the James River, in Arnold Valley, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia…

Foamhenge

Off of rt.11 in Rockbridge County, Virginia, someone has built a replica of Stonehenge out of Styrofoam…hence the name, “Foamhenge.” It’s quite a sight to see in the Blue Ridge Mountains!

The Cedar, the Fence, and the Farm

Taken on a back road in Bedford County, Virginia; an old family farm…

Fill it Up Please

While riding the back roads in Arnold Valley, Rockbridge County in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we ran across this old country store where the owner is turning into a museum. This is one place he is working on outside the store using an antique gas pump and antique cars…it’s a wonderful place!

Grandpa—Sleeping it Off

While riding the back roads in Arnold Valley, Rockbridge County, Virginia in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we ran across this old country store where the owner is turning into a museum. This is one view of the inside of the store and Grandpa is really a wax figure…The corn liquor jug next to him is real, but I think it was empty. I wonder if Grandpa comes to life at night…

Glenn Falls

Taken at Glenn Falls is in Augusta County, Virginia, in the Blue Ridge Mountains and is on private property, but we managed to get to it to take some pictures. The falls itself drops 25-30 feet into this beautiful natural pool after which the creek continues to the Tye River in Nelsen County.

Storm Moving In

A front moving in on the farm while the sun peeks through the clouds in the east. Taken in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia...

A Portal through Time

Peering through what’s left of an old (c.1700’s) chimney next to the James River, in Arnold Valley, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia…

A December Afternoon

I love the skies this time of year…they are an ever changing palate. Taken on a back road in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
