In a moment like this
I think there is no finer place to be
than in my own back yard
viewing
the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

Blue Ridge Beauty

I never tire of the views from this little house in rural Virginia.
And even now, after so many years and so many pictures, there are still moments when I feel compelled once again to try to capture the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The Blue Ridge is sometimes shrouded in mist or covered in snow, or blue against the sky, or blanketed in fog, and always stunning.
The snow was clearing a few days ago here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
And it was one of those days when I simply had to get one more picture.
The Heart of the Matter

They say there is always the heart of a tree and so I believe this one conveys a secret message. Can you see the carefully inscribed letters?
Nature was the artist here and Nature provided the carved heart inscription and the mysterious code.
IF ONLY TREES COULD TALK!
Or can they?

This little Bluebird of Happiness landed on my deck on a chilly rainy Supposedly-Autumn day.
Isn’t the arrival of bluebirds supposed to announce the arrival of Spring?
And just look at this confused little guy all puffed up to keep warm.
Is Autumn really on the way or what?
Moonlight Musing

I have never been able to take a credible photo of the moon. This little cell phone camera doesn’t have the capacity (or maybe I don’t know what I’m doing?).
But one silvery night when the fog lay in low Virginia hollows and there was a shimmer on surfaces left wet from a creeping mist, I had to try again.
Ghostly Wildlife

Shot through my window screen I see a handsome but ghostly Virginia White Tailed Deer.
Isn’t he statuesque and elegant?
And how do I seem to him looking in?
