1. I recently got a Virginia State Parks Pass, good for a year. I celebrated by carrying lunch one day to eat at Shenandoah River State Park, even though it was an on-and-off rainy day. I felt good standing at Cullers Overlook as the wind swept across the valley!
2. When we crossed the Chesapeake Bay Bridge a few weeks ago, Frank was driving. So of course, I snapped a picture.
Sharing with Black and White Weekend.
3. Naked ladies have appeared in my yard! That's one of the names for these pink flowers, also known as Surprise Lilies and Resurrection Lilies.I planted these as bulbs a few years ago so they aren't really a surprise. The proper name is Lycoris squamigera.
4. Also in our yard are daylilies. I couldn't resist taking a picture of some with our "barn quilt" behind them.
5. Here's another picture from a rainy day. Here the rain had moved on but mist was still rising.
The photo from the overlook is gorgeous, and I like the b&w bridge photo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots.

Lovely! I love windy views - not that fond of rain though ;) Excellent bridge shot.
ReplyDelete...'naked ladies' is quite the name for a flower, in Hawaii there is a flower called 'sexy pink.' Thanks linda for stopping by, enjoy!
