It looks like we made it through another week! Congratulations.
Today we crossed the mountain into West Virginia so Frank could see the photo show that includes three of my landscapes. It is at the Lost River Trading Post in Wardensville.
After browsing the show and the other rooms in the store, we went to nearby Capon Springs. It is a charming old resort town that Frank loves to visit.
We explored the area around the spring house and marveled at the huge rock formations. You can see that these were flat layers of rock that got tilted straight up in some ancient cataclysm.
It looks like there are some nice trails around there.
Since Frank did not want to cross the mountain on the gravel road, we took the main roads back to Wardensville before heading home. I took a picture of the post office there.
This bulldog statue was in front of a shop by the post office. It wasn't until I started to post this picture that I realized that the figure is a symbol of a football team, the West Virginia Bulldogs.
Footnote: I alternated between using the old Blogger interface and the new one while composing this post. The new one destroyed the formatting of my photos and I had to redo them. G-r-r-r!
I enjoy this virtual tour with you. Beautiful photos from your trails.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see your photos on display! Looks like a nice outing, I love the bulldog. Enjoy your day, have a great weekend.
Such lovely shots!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting series of photos!
ReplyDeleteLove the scenic photos, and congratulations on showing your landscapes.
For me the new Blogger is very clumsy to use. I have to hunt around to find the toolbar icons I need. It takes me twice as long to create a post! What once was a joy is now a chore.
But enough griping, Have a wonderful weekend!
Great to see the spring...I'm always drawn to them when we can approach them. The marvels of nature!
ReplyDeleteThe kind of day out that many would enjoy - especially those having been cooped up due to COVID for a while.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having your photos included in the photo show. They look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at nice trails. Looks like a good place to visit.
ReplyDeleteOld blogger is messing me up with location. It keeps putting me on the east coast of Australia. If I don't change it it really messes up the timing of the post. New blogger is okay but doesn't give me the control I like. Switching between them messes up location again. Drives me crazy.
How great that your lanscapes are on the art show! Beautiful photos. I'm so late in commenting, as I am exhausted due to clearing & renovating my home. This is going to last for a few weeks! Hopefully I'll survive.
ReplyDeleteSo many wonderful place to explore in your part of the country.
ReplyDeleteSo many good pictures here :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I love the bulldog.
ReplyDeleteFascinating post! I've tried the new Blogger - don't like it. It's good at messing up. :(
