After all these years in Virginia, I still can’t get used to these wrecks that slowly disintegrate along the sides of country roads. This one is along the road going to James River State Park, where we do the Tye River Kayak/Canoe Race every year.

This is my contribution to the weekly photography challenge at PhotoFriday.com. The topic this week is Slowly.

This is from the way distant past. About 10 years ago, Dan and I went on a road trip to find the graves of a pair of ancestors of mine: Sarah Jane Glenn Smith and her husband Andrew Jackson Smith. We found them in a little churchyard in Stoneville, North Carolina.

While we were taking pictures, a man asked us which family we were interested in. I told him, and he opened the church and showed us a plaque inside, inscribed: To the Glory of God and in Memory of our Grandfather: Joseph H. Glenn – 1827-1902. He told us that the church and the surrounding land for the graveyard had been donated by Joseph Glenn to the community.

This photo was taken with a 10-year-old digital camera. I have no idea what the make and model were; I imagine the resolution was 640×480 or something similar. I think we need to go back with better cameras

This is for Photo Friday‘s weekly photo challenge. The theme this week is “From My Past.”

I was in San Francisco for a conference in 2001 and took this photo from the window of my hotel room. I love San Francisco – one of my favorite cities in the world.

This is my contribution to Photo Friday; the theme this week is Urban Landscape.

My best friend Barbara and I, and sometimes other friends, go out to dinner at a different restaurant almost every Wednesday night; and we buy each other dinner when our birthdays are nearby.

For my birthday this year, we ended up at Gosport Tavern on High Street in Portsmouth. It’s a very nice, fairly new restaurant that specializes in seafood dishes (like many restaurants in our area).

I had the delicious lobster ravioli for dinner that night – OMG – it was really good, and the striped raviolis were beautiful to look at, too I didn’t have my camera, but I did have my cell phone.

This is my contribution to Photo Friday’s weekly photo challenge. This week’s topic is Cameraphone Shot.

I entered this a foodie photo contest for comfort food at Recipezaar.com:

Chicken Cacciatore, oh, yeah! And here’s the recipe that I posted some time ago.

The theme for this week’s photo is circular. Dan potted up some plants for the patio last weekend, and this beauty is one I’ve never seen before. It’s an African daisy. Isn’t it gorgeous?
