Richmond (11/19/2013)

Realizing this is a very low resolution photograph, I did want to post it.  I went for a lunch walk today to the state capitol and the preparations are already ongoing for the inauguration of our next governor, approximately 2 months from now.  It seems a little early, but I guess that’s probably the time they need.  It is amazing to think that the opponent of the governor elect has an office that looks down at the preparations.  That must be a sore/frustrating site for him to see.  In other news we learned today that the previous looser in the election for governors was stabbed and is in the hospital in critical condition.  Terrible, hopefully he will be fine.

Yorktown (11/8/2013)

Although out of focus today, this is worth posting.  It is great to walk in the woods behind my home.  This is what allows me to focus on life.  Summers it's no fun, mosquitoes, ticks etc, but when the weather gets cold I'm there!  It is really true being out there sets my mind at ease, it allows me to focus on the good things, and just enjoy myself.  Reading about nature deficit disorder I can really understand this need.

Fall in Richmond (11/5/2013)

Although it is early November, it already feels like late fall.  On the road from home to work the leaf colors seem to be just past prime.  Here in Richmond they are definitively past their prime.  This photo shows how empty Richmond is, even at lunch time.  Summers are better, but people seem to shun the outdoors when it gets a little cooler.

Toys for Tots ... Yorktown (11/3/2013)

This past Sunday the Peninsula was occupied by hundreds of bike riders who under the escort of the police were raising Toys for Tots, a Christmas tradition in many part of the country.  They end up at the Harley Dealer in Yorktown, where I took this picture.
