The Morning After........
This is what a Washington Redskins season ticket holder looks like after the team, which was favored by 10 points!, looses to the Detroit Lions. Note the slouched shoulders, the grim look, the clenched fists, and the sun glasses hiding the tear swollen eyes. This weekend the Redskins are only favored by 7 points. Look at the bright side Tom! When the next edition of Trivial Pursuit comes out you'll know the answer to the question--Which team did the Detroit Lions beat to end their 19 game loosing streak? That knowledge may be a game winner.

God's Country
A stop on Rt. 15 between Orange and Culpeper. Looking across the fields towards the Blue Ridge.

We Are Being Watched.......
Another example of what you could miss if you don't slow down and take a moment to look at the world around you. The main pigeon hangout in downtown Fredericksburg. It would be appropriate to note that it is right across the street from another famous downtown hangout--the Hyperion Coffee Shop.

Main Street Culpeper
Another home that I wouldn't mind moving into should the opportunity present itself.

A Church with A Past
The Presbyterian church in downtown Fredericksburg. During the Civil War it was used, like most buildings in the city, as a hospital. Those who tended the wounded here included Clara Barton and Walt Whitman. I took this shot because I liked the street lamp in the fore ground.

A Bolkonsky Moment.
Sitting alone one morning enjoying my coffee I glanced over and beheld this scene. The beautiful blossoms next to dead ones. I began to wonder if there was some meaning in this scene which then reminded me of Prince Andrey Bolkonsky in Tolstoi's epic novel War & Peace who spent pages ruminating about the meanings of life, love, and about everything else but the kitchen sink just by looking into the trees. Too early in the morning for that amount of effort. Then I remembered that I'd better water the plant in the kitchen window or else it too would have that dead look. That thought too was soon overtaken by other events and forgotten.

What You Do Not See
A site in Frederickburg not on the tourist map. The alley behind St. George's Episcopal Church. A few years ago I "assisted" in an archaeological dig here. Below the pavement is the foundation of the original church cemetery wall and at least three grave sites. One grave site had the wall going over it meaning it pre-dated the formal establishment of the cemetery.

Known Only to God and Their Child.
To grave markers in the Masonic Cemetery in Fredericksburg which was established in 1784. The markers read, "My Father's Grave," and "My Mother's Grave."

“There are stars who's light only reaches the earth long after they have fallen apart. There are people who's remembrance gives light in this world, long after they have passed away. This light shines in our darkest nights on the road we must follow.”

The Talmud

The Beginning of the End.........
Somewhere on a back road in central Virginia. Fall is now upon us and the leaves are beginning to turn.........

"Just before the death of flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season
When nature is all aglow."
