Early Voting, Early Autumn

Virginia allows early voting at the county government centers. I went this afternoon and noticed how brilliant some of the trees are already. This is not terribly unusual but autumn came later last year and the year before.




Inspired by the fall foliage, I made a quick trip to Skyline Drive. I’m sure it will be terribly crowded there this weekend and since I am retired, I can go during the week.

There are other good places to see the fall colors around here. I like to make at least one pilgrimage to Fort Valley, Orkney Springs, and West Virginia.

  1. The trumpers in Oklahoma have restricted early voting a great deal.

  6. It's an annual pilgrimage to see the colours, isn't it?

  7. Your fall foliage seems to be close to where ours are, which I find interesting - yes isn't it wonderful to be able to do these drives during the week? Our early voting (New York) doesn't begin until October 29. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  8. Hi Charlie! Love that first photo! Good you've done the vote. I sure hope a lot of people who don't usually vote will get into this election. Our early voting starts the 20th. Same here, avoid tourists if possible. But with friends who work the usual work week, I was out there on Sunday last week. Oh boy!

  10. Charlie seems intent.

    We have municipal elections. Today's the last day for advanced polls.

  11. i am hoping they will allow us to vote early from now on, i rather prefer it. it is nice to pick when you will go to the poles. instead of the one single day. i did ask the ladies there at my pole and they didn't know. something about i should ask my representatives. i did laugh ...because i don't think i would get an answer. LOL!! ( ;
