The Shenandoah Valley of Virginia
Just another miracle here – the dawning of a new day.
The sun is rising over lingering storm clouds over the Blue Ridge Mountain range and finally over the foothills and hollows of home.

A Virginia sky over the Blue Ridge Mountains
offers a scenic route to Heaven,
and clouds to guide the way.

There is something enchanting about the ethereal mists in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I am still breathless for a moment when the world is quiet and serene.

An Autumn Leaf Dreaming of Spring

And so it went. Day after day after day I waited.
At first, from my faraway post it might have been an injured red Virginia Cardinal fluttering on a barren branch in a forest now devoid of any leaves.
On closer inspection it was actually a lone leaf fluttering in the breeze.
“It may be the only leaf still clinging to life in the state of Virginia,” I thought.
Then we had 60 mile per hour wind gusts.
“Surely it will release its grasp though this,”
But there it stayed and stays still.
I never see a singular leaf like this even though I look along our roadsides.
Now it is snowing and raining and snowing with a sometimes stiff breeze making for peculiar weather.
And there she is, hanging on
as if dreaming.
She is to be admired – an Autumn leaf dreaming of turning green again for one more chance at life.
Daffy in Spring

It rained all day today.
It rained yesterday.
And there was snow and sleet the day before.
But when the sun came out for a second
there was another sign of Spring!
Oh, Virginia

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.

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.
