It's On!

Got flights booked for D.C. from Nov 11-20. Not actually D.C. but near. My sister & brother's families are there. Wifey will be with for a long weekend & I will linger around the rest of the week. Thought about squeezing in a NYC leg but it got too complicated. Will have to do NYC later but Jonesin' for a return to Gotham soon. This time all about seeing family I haven't seen in years & seeing the Smithsonian. :-)

Headin' Out!

I can't believe everything that's going wrong that was going so right for weeks. Nothing major but computer stuff deciding to fail just as I'm trying to shut down for a few days. 

Can't be bothered with it though. Gotta pack and head to the airport at O-dark-thirty.

Made it to DC and just fell out over the airport & had to get a snap before hookin up with family. :-)

Dobson

My sister has a warped sense of humor. I love it! :-)

This dapper Indian chap greets visitors to her home. His name is "Dobson".

Golden

We don't get much seasonal change in Austin, TX. which is cool especially if you ride a motorcycle ;-) But when I see color like this I have to wonder if we're missing a little bit of life's magical pageant.

Rich

We reportedly already missed the change... but my eyes reeling from color intoxication beg to differ.

Plot

This property just screamed "film location". Or, perhaps it's ghosts were whispering the suggestion instead. Not sure, but there was definitely something musing me in that direction. May have to revisit & listen a bit closer.

Hallow's

I'm sure you could see this very same thing in thousands of places. Who know why it just struck me in this place?

Leesburg

I find myself with a lack of need to search, but amused to continue exploring.

Witch

I have felt this before in certain places. A feeling there are or were witches nearby. Not so much an unpleasant feeling but one with a familiar and distinct taste.

Fall Trial

Where in my imagination are these images of such a crisp and clear Fall day being part of a sinister event at thus lovely old courthouse in Leesburg, VA? A film? Or, is there some memory here you can tap in to?

Vessel

Found these great vessels in a gallery that appeared to be closed down & for lease... only no one took away the work. Leesburg, VA

Rainbow Children

Oh my! I got so excited when I stumbled upon these. Seriously, couldn't figure out why others weren't joining in reveling in their symphonic glory!

Leesburg 1

Really enjoy wandering around Leesburg, Virginia. It was grey and rainy in the area today but I went for a drive to scout where I might explore tomorrow.

Thinking I'll try to fit in another country drive and another walkabout in Leesburg.
