Traffic Bottleneck
A one lane bridge. Believe it or not I had to double back three times to get this shot. Each time a car came up behind me. Actually there was a car behind me when I took this shot.

A Missed Turn Leads to an Astounding Discovery
Yes the sacred riding mower graveyard. The place where old riding mowers go to die. This photo does not do justice to the magnitude of this site. Lets us take a moment of silence and reflection to honor the fallen..................

Greetings from Fauquier County
A view of the Kelly's Ford bridge from the Fauquier County side of the river.

From the Bridge at Kelly's Ford
Looking out at the Rappahannock River from the bridge over Kelly's Ford. The ford was a major crossing site for the armies during the Civil War. A battle was fought near by in March 1863.

Bustling Lignum
Old country home in central Lignum. The home next door is abandoned as is the building directly across from it. Just behind me where this photo was taken there is a church. That's about it.

Andy Warhol is Alive and Well In Lignum
Another old barn picture with an artistic twist. And to continue the artsy theme a cow poem:

Distant Hills
The distant hills call to me.
Their rolling waves seduce my heart.
Oh, how I want to graze in their lush valleys.
Oh, how I want to run down their green slopes.
Alas, I cannot.
Damn the electric fence!
Damn the electric fence!

Gary Larson

“We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive at where we started and know the place for the first time.”

T. S. Eliot

Off to Ireland for a week at the end of the month! My companions, my wife and 16-year-old son, are looking forward to a hike or two during our visit to the ancestral land. So I have about two weeks to reacquaint myself with my legs. So I'm leaving the car keys on my desk and getting up from my office chair and heading off to see what these babies can do.......

My Comfort Zone

My wife calls it a mess. To me it is me. That which I must now leave........

"Farewell we call to hearth and hall! Though wind may blow and rain may fall. We must away ere the break of day. Far over wood and mountain tall."

Even if it kills me....

A Tribute to the Fallen of the 20th and 21st Centuries
In the background is the recently dedicated memorial to those from this area who made the ultimate sacrifice from World War I through today. Names were added just before the dedication and some since. The plaque on the flagpole behind our "beautiful" Boffers AA gun commemorates those killed in WWI which was dedicated soon after that war. At the time a German howitzer was stationed where the AA gun is today. The German artillery piece was donated by area veterans as part of the scrape drive in August 1942.
