I appreciate the followers, the faithful who view and make comments, and those who simply view without comment. However, it has become increasingly difficult to do justice to 2 blogs, and I am finding it a chore, rather than a joy. I would rather do one thing well, than several things poorly. And I feel there have been times when I have posted something mediocre, just to have something to say. That wasn't the reason I started blogging, and is not how I want to be known.<br />
<br />
So, having said that, I leave you with a final photo and quote...<br />

Just before the rain, on Rt. 460 in Virginia, we saw this lovely sunrise. Dan quickly pulled over into a church parking lot and I managed to snap a few photos before the color disappeared.<br />

This beauty was just one of the ones we saw - some had warnings not to touch because they would bite - but others could be hand fed. In this particular species, the female is red, the male is green!<br />

(For those of you who follow both of my blogs, this is a repeat of my post for <a href="http://theroadawaitsme.blogspot.com/">The Road Awaits</a>. You don't have to read any further.)<br />
<br />
Somewhere around blogland, I heard rumors of an August break from blogging. I don't remember where I heard it, or who said it, or who even does it! But, I am going to...<br />
<br />
We are headed to Pigeon Forge, TN for some much needed R&R - Dan is recovering nicely, and we have been planning this for some time now. So, other than auto-posting my Wordless Wednesday Again, I will be mostly offline until Saturday, August 25th. I am pretty sure I am not going to be able to stand being TOTALLY offline...that is a lot like pulling the plug! But, I am going to spend my time enjoying the sights and sounds of the mountains - and taking LOTS of photos! I am really hoping to stock up on some great barns, and fences, and critters...and all the other things that delight the senses!<br />
<br />
So, until then...have a wonderful week! I will catch you when I return! Peace out...<br />
<br />

This lovely plant has survived in spite of having been moved several times. Ruellia, commonly known as wild petunias, Mexican Bluebells, or Mexican Petunias, are not closely related to petunias of the genus Petunia. The genus was named in honor of Jean Ruelle, herbalist and physician to Francis I of France (from Wikipedia). I believe this particular one is Ruellia angustifolia, but I am not totally certain. We cut it down to the ground at the end of every season, and it springs back every year and provides the bees, butterflies and us with many days of enjoyment! <br />

At the Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, we had an opportunity to view all kinds of transport vehicles. This little car - the AmphiCar - was first produced in 1961. By 1965, only 4000 had been produced, so it was never a big market piece. But, it was a pretty neat little car! President Lyndon Johnson owned one, and used to like to scare visitors by driving them straight down the hill to the lake, yelling that his brakes were broken!</div>
