Spotsylvania, VA

One morning as I set out for Charlottesville, I passed Sturgeon's Creek Marina on the shores of Lake Anna. As I was driving by I glanced at the water (I always do) and noticed the fog and a couple of fishermen setting off. I turned around, pulled in, and saw that they were having a fishing tournament. Quite a number of boats were lined up ready to go. I took several shots and here is one of them.

Can you see them back there?

I'm in love with sunsets. I cannot seem to get over the beauty of them. Although I have tons of pictures of the sun going down, I still take more. I delight in the fact that we see some truly gorgeous ones. The fact that the setting sun, and the wonderful hues it creates in the sky, are often reflected in the water. That doubles my pleasure.

If you love sunsets perhaps we can find a place for you here at Lake Anna where you can feast your eyes on many spectacular ones. I'll do all that I can to help you

My Lake Anna Neighborhood...Make it Yours Too. Yes, that's possible. If you have been thinking about a move to the country and would also like to be near or on a lake, check out Lake Anna.

These are a few of the photos I took on my way home today. They were taken within a few miles of my home and some within a few hundred feet. This is what I see when I leave home. I love it. Even after seventeen years I never tire of see these sights. No matter how often I drive these roads I always see some things for the first time and others I have enjoyed over and over again.

I hope you enjoy these glimpses of my neighborhood and get an idea of why I love it.

Each time I pass this barn and stable on Partlow Road I notice how well maintained they are.

I liked the silouette affect.

Fall is definitely here but the flowers are still blooming.

Muddy sheep...a reflection of recent rain.

Carrying a camera around at all times is a necessity. That way I get to share these impressions over and over again and I get to share them with all of you as well.

What is out there for you to see and photograph? If you are in the habit of carrying your camera with you you know the pleasure I get from mine. If you don't think about doing it. As a REALTOR this gives me a great way of showing others how wonderful this area is. As they say, a picture is worth a 1,000 words.
