I love to look long-range too
along with the windblown grasses
as we nod our mutual approval
of a magnificent Virginia view.

Growing old can be fun. At least that’s what my oldest friend, Kit, says.

Never Alone in the Country

It was a clear afternoon in Virginia, in spite of looming clouds. And the Blue Ridge Mountains called me out on the deck for cooler temps. And there was something entrancing about the light.
I was not alone.
An agile young deer who could have leaped over the pasture fence, simply crawled right through a nice little gap in the rungs.
And another well fed deer looked up at me. “Hello”, I said in my softest deer-like voice, and she simply kept dining on the last green grass of summer.
Two hummingbirds made their fly-by challenges for last minute dips at the feeder. I have heard that hummers need to stock up on nectar for their long flights to winter in Venezuela.
I am never alone in the country.

Pure
How quickly we forget the way the world transforms after a fresh snow. This is a photo from my archives. How strange and pure a Virginia wintry scene is from an air-conditioned room at the beginning of a long hot summer.
Spring in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley

How green is my valley! Each year I say it, but “This is the most beautiful Spring we have ever had.”

Sometimes I drive down my country road and simply have to stop and take a picture.
It’s not that there is anything magnificent to snap.
And it’s not the glorious foliage or even the way the light hits a leaf.
It boils down to a “feeling” and a need to listen to the world.
