The morning started out nice. We had rented a cabin in the B&B and the sun was just coming above the horizon when I walked over to the main house for a cup of coffee. Low sun angles make amazing pictures. so I quickly walked over to a cabin that is known as the "Bird house" and shot the picture below. The orange glow of the sun on the foreground and the distant mountains created a great picture.
Before leaving we decided to go for a walk. The road we took was past the B&B towards what I assume is Sounding Knob, since we were walking on Sounding Knob Road. The knob is in the Highland County Wildlife Management area and according to the map, the knob is close to 4300 ft high. We only walked for an hour, but it was nice to be out and about. I could not help taking the picture of the lone tree in the pasture along the road.
We ended the morning with a drive to Bridgewater Virginia and a visit to the Bluestone vineyard. This is another winery that I have to add to an up coming Virginia wine review that I write so now and then on this blog. But suffice it to say the wines were decent; the place is pet friendly, and it was a great place for a pick-nick lunch with a glass of cold rose wine. Regretfully, after arriving home at 6 pm, I was back into the car to drive to Fredericksburg for two days of teaching. I need to retire!
