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

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.
