Geese in the rain. No fire tonight.

Geese at UR lake

My backyard fire pit

Breezy day-fly U of Richmond flag (thank-you for Alex's free education). Christmas cookies made by girls. Toby after he heard he's not getting one.

Pocahontas State Park mountain biking in December. Bleached out box turtle shell on the trail.

Day trip last spring from Abaco to Scotland Key

Sandy and Marjo walking the flats

Morning Scotland Key beach

Buddies take care of each other

The boat arrives at Scotland Key

Notice how precisely the leash is placed on the ground

You can't see me, can you?

3 story Xmas tree in our hospital lobby, Red-shouldered hawk visitor in front yard

December on the James River. Houses--not the 47%. Robious Landing boat ramp.

Dogs waiting for Christmas

How's this?

How bout this?

I'm waiting right here for my presents

Not posing anymore

Thanksgiving dinner and Tessie showing how I felt after eating it

Night-time Virginia Beach Hilton--rooftop hot tub, gas table (there's Neptune again), Tacky lights on the boardwalk

Scenes from Virginia Beach--hopeful seagull, King Neptune (John Hill was the model for the sculptor), Brrrrr Wind Surfer

From Marjo's blog. She's a long ways away from home. I'm only 2 hours away and feel the same.

Gorgeous day on the James. 288 bridge. Debris left over from hurricane Irene last year.

University of Richmond Heron back today--he's campaigning to be the new mascot. "Herons" better than "Spiders", say I.

Big fall Buck, Soloman's Seal (Polygonatum commutatum if you must know) yellow with ferns

Great Blue Heron on lake at University of Richmond, Toby bored waiting for Sandy

Clear the deck! Sandy's coming!

Ed's Abaco Hurricane indicator with legend and pre-Sandy picture. They've been offline for 36 hours now--hoping they are safe. Bet indicator is gone.

Spanky, Austin's cat went to heaven. A beautiful box made for his ashes by a very adept craftsman with a loving touch. Many different kinds of exotic woods.
