An Afternoon in Fort Valley

These pictures are from almost two weeks ago, when fall color was at a high point. Many of the leaves have fallen since then.



The annual Fort Valley Arts and Crafts Show is always interesting, and the area is beautiful. I bought some paintings from artist Billy Smelser. He made sure they were signed.



I made a circuit drive by entering the valley through Edinburg Gap and exiting near the fish hatchery. I drove past Shenandoah River Lakes where we used to live. Someone is building a house on the lakefront lot that we sold several years ago. The lake looked pretty. Sometimes I miss the views that we had there.

  4. Any time there is a picture of a lake with trees reflected in it, it takes first prize. Good for you for supporting local artists.
