Turnpike Morning

It was one of those special mornings on the West Virginia Turnpike when the air was clear and cool and the mist hung in the valleys.


I don't often post strictly "work" pictures on the blog. Here's one just to let you see some of my day-to-day work. This is a new Holiday Inn in Beckley, WV.

Roane County Bucolic, Part 2

Roane County Bucolic

I was working at Roane General Hospital today. I really love the scenery on the drive there. Be sure to click the photo for a larger view. I blogged from Roane County last year... click and click.

Julian Beever is coming....

... to Charleston. This is exciting. I'm almost certain you've seen this artist's work show up in your email inbox sometime in the last few years. He's coming to Festivall.
UPDATE: See my coverage of Julian Beever here.

The Inchworm

It was going along the deck. Adam noticed it first. I don't know if he's going to blog photos of it, but I hope he does. I shot some pictures of it on the deck and then on my nephew Matthew's hand and arm.

Backlighting

This evening, I didn't have any photos to post, so I went out into the yard and shot some rhododendron leaves.

Short North Gothic

Here's another shot from Columbus.

Just me 'n the truckers...

... cruisin' down the Turnpike at dawn.

Short North Fever...

... or was it just hot? I spent the day in the "Short North" district of Columbus, OH today. It's "Gallery Hop" weekend so boy was it rockin'. I honestly can't believe the crowds they get out for Gallery Hop. It's amazing... thousands. I actually heard a comedian on the radio recently make a joke about Columbus as if it were an unsophisticated cow-town. I doubt he's been to Columbus lately.

Bye Michigan

Also seen on the WV Turnpike... this truck was piled high with somebody's possessions. The sign on the tailgate says: "Bye Michigan... last one out, please turn out the lights!" Not exactly original, but good for a chuckle anyway.

Seen on the WV Turnpike

Holy cow... there's something I haven't seen in a while. It's one of the first Honda automobiles sold in America. I recall that it had a 600cc engine. It's tiny. In those days, it seemed crazy that Honda, the company that made those cute little motorcycles, would actually sell cars.
