This morning I awoke with a desire to journey down to the James River and arrived there just before the sun cleared the trees.

There was not a cloud in the sky however. So instead of taking photos of light reflecting off the clouds I decided to take photos of light reflecting off the rocks. Rocks are very much like clouds in terms of their shapes and distribution all over the river. Here’s an example.

So I had a nice walk up and down the river along the side of the road. There were some young guys out there fishing and by the sounds they were making they must have been catching fish. There was a little squirrel who I managed to catch.

It was a comfortable morning to be down there and it has become one of my favorite places in the world. I used to think that I would run out of things to photograph . But now I don’t think this will be the case for a long time. There is too much to capture. And things change from day to day.

I’ve never come away from there thinking it was a waste of time getting out of bed.

And hopefully I never will.

Here are some more photos with the NextGen Light box. Click on the thumb nails for larger views.

I am thankful for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home…. I am thankful for the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby. ~Nancie J. Carmody

Just a cheerful photo to end the blogging day on a positive note. Part of my problem is that I manage to get down on myself for not being better at doing so many things. From fixing toilets to making software work the way it is supposed to I generally fail miserably. And I have a father who can fix anything.

Well, he might not be able to fix the space shuttle if it was supposed to fly tomorrow.

The recent video I posted here about the doctor who had a stroke was very informative because it went into great detail about the left and right sides of the brain. Some of us use one side a great deal more than the other. Fortunately or unfortunately blogging usually requires that we use BOTH sides in equal measure.

It’s a balancing act only a Libra could really appreciate.

What side of your brain do you use more? Do you feel frustrated sometimes because you have trouble fixing things? Why don’t they have more courses in school about how to fix stuff that is going to break down on us?

The only really good place to buy lumber is at a store where the lumber has already been cut and attached together in the form of furniture, finished and put inside boxes. ~Dave Barry
