Virginia Love

“On your right comes up the Shenandoah, having ranged along the foot of the mountain a hundred miles to seek a vent. On your left approaches the Potomac, in quest of a passage also. In the moment of their junction they rush together against a mountain, rend it asunder, and pass off to the sea. This scene is worth a voyage across the Atlantic.” -Thomas Jefferson

I’ll miss you, Virginia. Thank you for letting me see your beautiful mountains, drink your delicious wine, pick your sweet apples, taste your extremely salty ham, smell your crisp air, learn your rich history, watch your white-tailed deer, laugh with your friendly people, and eat your great food. I will never forget the memories I have of you.

    A few weeks ago, my husband and I took a weekend trip to Williamsburg/Jamestown. We loved it! William & Mary is such a gorgeous school, and it was completely dead when we were there! Hope you’ve made it safely to Georgia by now, another great and beautiful state. Love the photos! What kind of lenses do you use?

      Yay, so glad you had a good time! It’s such a great place to visit. I’m actually just using my kit lens for now, nothing fancy! 🙂
