We were on our way to the “old country!”
En route I spotted a ghostly cloud in the shape of a sister-jet following along for good luck.
This is what I saw through our plane window.
Bill and I were on our way to a riverboat cruise featuring the Highlights of Germany.
And there are now 193 photographs awaiting your viewing pleasure!
No, please don’t worry. This is a Virginia blog after all and the subject is always Virginia Views.
I will only share the best of the best of cathedrals, castles, and narrow streets. Now they have already blended into one delightful memory. The truth is, we can’t remember where we have been! At least that’s what Bill says. After awhile one castle looks a lot like the last one.
But I’m baaaaaack! The called for “Time Out” is over.
And now, tradition has it that I must post a wayward witch’s photo to celebrate the season.
It was not taken in Germany but a few years ago “down the street” right here in the neighborhood.
Many thanks to the neighbor who took the time to put up this funny lady.
They don’t make much of Halloween in the Germany we visited and I am glad to be back among all the U.S. pumpkins, gourds, and all the anticipation in the air about costumes, tricks and treats.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN my friends!
It’s good to be home.
She must have been texting!
Floating Imagination

A pink cloud in an otherwise ordinary sky
escapes the mundane white on blue,
floating, floating aimlessly by
displaying its gossamer baby pink hue.
A feather drifting softly through space,
a lingering apparition,
floating away to dissipate
and return to imagination.
Look for the Silver Lining

Our days here in Virginia have lately been filled with drizzling rain, dipping temps and cloudy skies. I wonder why the darkening clouds are still amazing or why a changing sky captures the imagination. It is surely unlikely there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but today I looked for and found a silver lining!
“Look for the Silver Lining” is a popular song with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by B.G. DeSylva. It was written in 1919 for the unsuccessful musical Zip, Goes a Million. In 1920 it was published and reused in the musical, Sally, whence it was popularized by Marilyn Miller. Among others, the song was later covered several times by Judy Garland, whose version also became, and remains, well-known. From Wikipedia.com .
