Waning Hours of the Day at Eagle Rock, Virginia


Taken the weekend it was like 10 degrees out and the wind was a howling like mad. I felt my ears numb as well as my face and decided outdoor photography was not a good thing. Thought this a lovely shot of the stark tree limbs and branches against the sky.

Some thoughts to ponder:

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes - Charles R. Swindoll  (American Writer and Clergyman, b.1934)

Should I Stop or Should I Go -Weekend Reflections



If you get to know me, you will notice that I have this thing about looking up/down, left/right, in/out and all around when it comes to my photography. I spied this shot while walking across the parking lot to our "new" Kroger superstore on Route 460. Of course, before we did a little shopping we had a nibble at our favorite restaurant Cafe' Asia located in the same complex. This little restaurant has it all together and we are frequent visitors.

This is my third entry into WEEKEND  REFLECTIONS hosted by James at Newton Area Photo. Please join in this wonderful meme. James is currently basking in his home state of California. And, boy do I wish I were endulging in a visit there as well. Yes, I know, it's raining and storm after storm is hitting the area but, the FOOD...I so miss the FOOD!
