Reflecting on a door. I love old buildings. Some buildings, I'm sure, were admired from the moment they were built. Others, perhaps not until well after their builders and original occupants had long since moved on. And not every building is admired by every person. The same thing could be said about humans. He has [...]

Visting the Historical Area of Explore Park in Roanoke Virginia
Explore Park. Roanoke, Virginia. This past Sunday, my husband and I visited Explore Park, located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway at milepost 115. The day was gray and overcast, with rain coming in the afternoon. I didn't expect to get too many shots as the light was not in my favor. I opted not [...]
Thursday Doors – Hotel Roanoke
Doors of Hotel Roanoke. If you viewed yesterday's Wordless Wednesday, then you saw a sampling of some of the trees on display at the Hotel Roanoke. I titled my post, Festival of Trees, because that is what I call it. Its actual name is Fashions for Evergreens. Quite a "fashionable" name, don't you think? [...]
Thursday Doors – Bagpipes and Church Doors
Bagpipes and Church Doors. A couple of Saturday's ago, Nov. 5th to be exact, I decided that I wanted to check out the "Virginia Room" of the main library. This is where they have a very large selection of reference material as compared to the branches. The main library in Roanoke is located downtown (it [...]
Niagara Dam – Along the Blue Ridge Parkway
Blue Ridge Parkway. About a month ago, my husband and I thought we'd drive around Roanoke Mountain Loop Road off of the Blue Ridge Parkway. I brought along my camera hoping to catch some views of the Roanoke Valley. Unfortunately, the recent storms had dropped a tree across the road, closing its access. Niagara Dam. [...]

Thursday Doors – Rescue

Today, I was determined to find a photo to participate in Thursday Doors hosted by Norm 2.0 (you can pop over and click the blue link to check out other amazing [...]
Thursday Doors – Keys to the Past
Keys to the Past. It's been a crazy week. Big surprise in the life of a mom. I'm still trying to catch up to daily life. That's why this week my Thursday Door is on a Friday (to be fair Norm 2.0's challenge is open until Saturday at noon. You can pop over and click [...]
Thursday Doors – St. Philips
St. Philips. This week my Thursday Doors, once again, come from our day trip over to Southport, NC. This church caught my eye as we drove in to Southport. We were looking for the visitor center so I figured I'd capture a photo of it later. If you'll recall, I mentioned in my other Southport [...]
Thursday Doors – Captain Newton’s Inn
Captain Newton's Inn Last week we had an amazing time filled with relaxation down in Carolina Beach, NC. One of the excursions that I've been wanting to take is the ferry ride from Ft. Fisher over to Southport. We were also checking out Oak Island, so it was more of a scouting excursion to see [...]
