Five Randoms, April 8th

It's Friday and that's a good excuse to use the Willy Nilly Friday format. I have a surplus of photos so here are five miscellaneous topics, some of them suitable for other linkups.

1. A peaceful evening at the lake works for Skywatch Friday, Weekend Reflections, and Scenic Weekends.

2. This week's theme at Photo Friday is "Rough."  These stone steps are rough, and it was that texture that I was trying to capture when I took this picture.

3. Next we have a still life that I created on the dash of the car while waiting for my husband to run an errand at the courthouse.  One way to find patience is to do something interesting while you wait.





4. I thought this neon sign was clever, and it's worth sharing with Signs, Signs.

5.  The Morgan Ford Bridge is about to be replaced. It's a narrow low-water bridge across the Shenandoah River, which floods periodically.  Several people have drowned when trying to cross the bridge when the river was up!

The construction project will force traffic to take a long detour, but the new higher bridge will save lives.

  7. That bridge looks unsafe even when there is no flood! Love those old stairs and the still life composition.
