Five Pictures for Willy Nilly Friday
1. This picture of the dam in Bridgewater turned out to be monochromatic so I removed what traces of color were left for Black and White Weekend.
2. Here's Lynn on a suspension bridge in Bridgewater, VA.

3. The colors are changing in Shenandoah National Park. I'm sure it will be crowded over the next few weekends. Tip: Avoid the Front Royal entrance on October weekends because traffic backs up.

4. Often I go to events at Cedar Creek Battlefield because it's close to home and I like history. I skipped the reenactment last weekend, which turned out to be a smart move because they had a bomb scare and the audience had to leave abruptly.
I have not seen any updates since the initial news story. People had theories, none of which seemed sensible to me. The reenactments that I've seen were not at all political; they were more like parades. But some of the comments on social media reminded me that some folks are pretty defensive about what their ancestors did during the Civil War. Thoughts about this prompted me to make a meme using one of my photos from a different living history event.

5. I made another meme recently, frustrated but also amused by the way distractions keep derailing conversations.
I came for SkyWatchFriday and then also got to enjoy your memes. Love the squirrel.
ReplyDeleteLove those fall colors!!
ReplyDeleteI like your black and white. The water looks deeptively soft, so it must be running at great speed!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post.
ReplyDeleteHello, Love the cute squirrel and the fall colors. I was wondering what Shenandoah looked like now, we wanted to drive up there for the day. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteShenandoah looks beautiful time of year. I agree with the memes.
ReplyDeleteLove your pics especially the one of the National Park with the trees and mountains.
ReplyDeleteYep, lots of people get defensive about their ancestors nowdays.
I love your squirrel pic. My late FIL was always saying "Look, a rabbit!" while driving along.
Nice BW of the dam. Suspension bridges scare me. - I try hard to stay out of the "political" mess any more. Just had a friend the other day "unfriend" me because I asked a simple question about a post she made on FB and she took offense over it. - Love that squirrel shot.
ReplyDeleteLove the squirrel and those Autumn (Fall) colours are just amazing.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
