Finally, a stop at the Waterfall

On the way to a friend's house I have seen and heard this waterfall, and each time I say "I should stop and take some photos." Well this last time I finally made the stop. Rick and I enjoyed a nice walk around the waterfall at the Altamahaw Paddle Access. This turned out to be a nice place to be on a hot day.

My container garden for this season.

Here is my container garden for 2011. It is filled with hostas, peppers, tomatoes and one strawberry plant. I even have my favorite, a Gerbra Daisy. I allow myself one Gerbra Daisy plant a year which I will killed before it's time. This year I am trying yellow squash. Not sure how the squash will do in a container. In the beginning I put cayenne pepper on top to keep the squirrels from digging up the seeds. My hostas are doing great this year. By the looks of them, I will have to separate them this season which = more hostas! 

A Quick Stop in Williamsburg, VA

We had a opportunity to make a quick stop in Williamsburg, VA this past weekend. The weather was perfect for a walk through the historic part of town. Since we only had a couple of hours we did not purchase the pass to get into the historic buildings, we saved that for a another trip.

Williamsburg is a beautiful place and was a joy to walk around, even got to enjoy a silly moment.

A Sign of Spring Photo

The photo club to which I belong, has a monthly photo assignment and this month's assignment is the "Signs of Spring".  Each member is allowed to enter up to 3 photos and this is my first one. I hope to catch more signs of spring before the end of the month.

Where is Liam?

Liam is playing hide, hide and we can't seem to find him, can you?

Happy 1st Birthday Jack

One of my favorites photo sessions is that of the baby's first birthday, I love the excitement, the family, the friends and best of all the cake.

Thank you Angela and Jim for inviting me to Jack's 1st Birthday Party and allowing me to capture these sweet moments.

Guilford Courthouse National Military Park | Greensboro, NC

I attended the 230th Anniversary Observance of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. The event was held at the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park in Greensboro, NC and was my first battle reenactment. I enjoyed the afternoon taking photos and walking around the wonderful park. My three hour tour was not enough for this place, it definitely could have been an all day event.

On March 15, 1781 the largest, most hotly-contested battle of the Revolutionary War's Southern Campaign was fought at the small North Carolina backcounty hamlet of Guilford Courthouse. Guilford Courthouse proved to be the highwater mark of British military operations in the Revolutionary War. Weakened in his campaign against Greene, Cornwallis abandoned the Carolinas hoping for success in Virginia. At Yorktown, seven months after his victory at Guilford Courthouse, Lord Cornwallis would surrender to the combined American and French forces under General George Washington. - You can learn more about Guilford Courthouse online at the National Park Service

The following photos are of the battle reenactment.

After the battle I enjoyed a walk around the park and though some of the camps. I was able to see what daily life would have been like and also catch a glimpse of some of the characters.
