subscribeJust a few more shots from Virginia before it’s back to the normal routine tomorrow! The first two are of some of my Grandma’s gorgeous orchids, and the last three are of my lovely ‘lil sis who, thankfully, never tires of playing model for me.
Thanks for stopping by!

Squirt was begging to go down to the “deep” today (Thank you, Backyardigans.) otherwise known as a beach to the rest of us, where she spent the afternoon exploring near the water, collecting treasures (oyster shells) and occasionally flinging wet sand up over her head and down on herself….and sometimes on her paparazzi as well. Since we are rather landlocked in Columbus and because she was terrified of the water last time we visited my grandparents, she has never really experienced the beach before and she just had a blast. It is still too cold to really do it properly, bare feet splashing in the surf, but nonetheless, she was entranced. Just a few snaps from our sandy adventure.
Just a sidenote….on this point on which my grandparents live used to be a tiny fishing village. The structures are no longer there, it has been gone for quite awhile, although some fisherman still dock their boats here at a dock some of the current locals have built (even though that number has taken a significant hit as of late with the Chesapeake crab, etc. population decreasing). It’s a little sad to think about the life of places, how a place that used to be a thriving, little community is now no longer there and all that remains is a memory passed on by the locals who still remember it. It makes me wonder how life used to be here, what it looked like, the sounds, even what it smelled like. Walking down the beach, the ruins of the oyster shack are still there. Piles of barnacled brick surrounded by mountains of empty iridescent oyster shells. Just a little reminder, a little teaser to fuel my interest and imagination, of things that used be.
Thanks for looking!

Ok…so it’s technically not MY springbreak, but my sister is letting the Squirt and I tag along on her spring break trip to my grandparents’ house. They live on the most gorgeous little spot on the Rappahannock River in Virginia and it’ll be nice to kick back a little, visit with my family, enjoy the sun and water, and shoot for fun. So I will be out of the office until Wednesday, March 25th, and I’ll return emails and calls once I have returned from my travels. Thanks to you all and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I shall return with photos. Might even post while I’m gone….if I have internet
