The other USPS

Blackburg also has a downtown Postal Service building. 

Entrance to USPS

Just the doorway to the Blacksburg Postal Service building. 

Roanoke skyline

The nearby city of Roanoke's skyline features the Taubman,  the farmer's market, and, of course, the mountains.

Hydranga

The hydranga in my front yard looks lovely.  It is from a Virginia grower; he was showing them at the Hahn horticulture garden about four years ago.  This is the first year it has bloomed and the blossoms are worth the wait.

Art classes and studio

This new art studio, which offers classes for young persons, is new...on Progress St.

Town Limits

The sign is a bit beat-up; it is on the crest of a hill; the water tank behind it.

Seemed a low price

The price on the sign seemed low.

Red House

Sun light just through the trees.

Up hill

A quiet morning; no traffic.

Red bricks and geranium

A front entrance

Fog on Harding

Almost seems spooky for the bicyclist going up Harding Ave.

Flower bed

Behind the trees, a large flower bed is still blooming.

Original Brownstone

The construction equipment looks small in the hole.  The original building is in use.

Crane

Construction continues on the Brownstone on Main St.

Center for the Arts

The building seems almost finished and glowing in the sunrise.

Flowers in my yard

This plant bloomed for the first time this year.  Seems it is at least four years old.

Labor

Today, the workers at the Promenade on College Ave. were working.  There was no big machinery as has been visible...just manual labor

Sky tonight

The skyline over Blacksburg, with the Center for the Arts light up in the middle.

Foggy morning

Foggy this morning.

Pathway to front door

This lovely sidewalk was recently created at a home on Lee st.  The front yard has been mostly natural.

Walkway in the parking lot

The parking lots behind Main St. have been the scene of a lot of landscaping.  This is a walkway through one of the lots.

Sprucing up the mall

Blacksburg Square was being painted.

Empty Main St.

After the crowd and business of the street fair, the community seemed quiet today.

Saturday at Steppin' Out

Music is my favorite part of Steppin' Out.  The Community Band and the Pan Jammers played today.  

Steppin' Out opened

Scenes from Steppin' Out, the Blacksburg Fair that marks the end of the quiet summer and looks forward to festive fall.

Foggy morning

Weather is normal and Blacksburg has four delightful seasons.  This morning it began to look like the fall mornings.
