I often forget how cool it is to live close to water --- and probably don't fully appreciate the James River, which is practically in my backyard. The shot above was one of those pull-over-the-car-because-the-sun-is-fading-NOW shots. I really wish I had pulled over a few minutes earlier, as all of the buildings were bright orange. As the crow flies, my farm is probably about 1/2 mile from the river, but I get to drive next to this spot both coming and going. My resolution will be to find time to do more stuff on or near the water this summer --- be it photography or maybe even a boat ride. I will certainly keep you posted.
