A Good Day

The view from my room this morning: horses being worked on the track.

Dinner at Olive Garden with friends:

Then Borders with Chuck.

And beautiful weather all day long.

West Virginia

Traveling with one of the sales guys today. After dinner with the customer (great Italian!!), we went to Harper's Ferry. Here are some shots with the Nikon point & shoot.

 The view out my hotel window - race track with barns in the background. Hoping the horses are working early tomorrow.

Railroad tracks and the Harper's Ferry railroad station - the commuter train runs into Washington, DC. Heck of a ways to travel for work.

The Shenandoah river. It joins the Potomac just a little bit down river from Harper's Ferry.

One of the many deer we saw around Harper's Ferry and Charles Town. The photos of the very cute mama and fawn were too blurry to post.

Today starts P365 Redux. I'm doing to do it from one day before my birthday this year to my birthday next year. Wish me luck - a photo every day for a year is a damn lot of photos!

Syrphid Fly

Took a little research, but BugGuide.net help key out this guy, a Syrphid Fly. He/She was on one of the shrubs in the backyard this evening. Love the metallic back.

Miniature Rose

I planted this miniture rose late last year. It was a scraggly little thing, so I didn't expect it would survive the winter. It's about a foot high, 18 inches across and lush. The little roses are just starting to pop, maybe an inch and a half across fully open.
I thought these buds were just lovely.

Used a bleach bypass filter and added a vignette to this one.
