I don't know who first uttered the expression "West by-God Virginia," but it is often used by people from West Virginia to refer to their home state. Since that state is a short drive from where we live, we travel over the mountain to visit it fairly often.

Capon Springs.
This charming resort town was quiet this spring due to the pandemic, but they started reopening on June 28.
Here we have two pictures of a garden there and one of a bright red house.

I'm glad that you have access to some beautiful areas. Even if you have to do a detour it's well organised. The lake scene looks very peaceful and there are some attractive buildings and pretty gardens.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos! Fun to see the train station in the middle of nowhere :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see more of West Virginia. Your photos are telling a great story! My only real stop there was to explore the New River Gorge Bridge visitors center, and Harper's Ferry BOTH awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou know it is summer because when you try to drive somewhere there is construction detours. Lovely garden. Be safe.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, I enjoyed the diversity of your photos...I think the Happiness stick in the garden caught my fancy today!
ReplyDeleteI've been to West Virginia only a handful of times, but remember a wonderful stay in Harpur's Ferry. I liked the Happiness Stick, too. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
