Looking each way

Looking each way up and down Main St. this afternoon.

Wintery weather

Today was cloudy but still spring temperatures. Don't know what to think.

The Moss Center for the Arts and the old smokestack from the power plant are visible on the right.

A home at the corner of Jefferson and Piedmont sts.

Need practice to take moon photos

This morning the moon still appeared to be a full moon.

Tis the Season

St. Mary's greening decorations

Foggy Day

The horses are barely visible through the fog this afternoon.

Christmas Tree on Main St.

Quiet along the downtown businesses.

Young actor

This is the actor who played one of the classic roles in the Shepherd "Christmas Story" presented by the Summer Musical Enterprise.  Delightful production.

First Snowfall of the season

Twas actually snow on the ground and cold today.  Maybe winter is coming.

The historic St. Luke

Intersection

Turner and Gilbert streets have mostly new buildings.

Almost the holiday

Beeks Elementary has some decorations up.

Near St. Luke

About a block from Main St. are the historical structures of St. Luke Church.

Was the tree first?

Wonder when the lines for the hydrant were put in?

X s near my home

Quite often the contrails from airplanes make patterns in the sky.

Will someone use these logs?

Bare of leaves

These trees have lost all their leaves.

Into Blacksburg

One of the streets leading into the downtown, Lee St.

A kind of holiday decoration

The red blooms are delightful.

One of the streams

The streams are always beautiful.

Winter Morning

The frost and fog made the morning dramatic.

Cover crop

The garden has settled down for the winter.

The tree in the middle again became the community holiday tree tonight.

Jackson St.

Sunset by Jackson St.

Holiday Lights

Many holiday lights are glowing.

Delivery Truck

Truck sports a colorful design.

Balloons and banners encouraged shoppers to do so in the community.

Capone's has moved

Capone's, a jewelry store, has been on Main Street for a long time.  It has now moved about two blocks...but is still on Main St., downtown.  I always told my family that if they wanted to get me a gift, almost anything from Capone's would be fine.

Full moon

Another view of the moon yesterday morning.

Full moon Thanksgiving morning

Full moon just over the mountains this morning.

Friends are starting to set the table for tomorrow's meal.

Philosophy

At the Blacksburg branch of the Montgomery-Floyd Regional Library.

Climbing

Always action at Crimper's Climbing Gym.

Blacksburg enjoys Virginia Tech football

Game day at Lane Stadium.  The game also celebrated a long-term coach whose last game was today.  And the videographer I talked with yesterday was working the game today too.

Sports television network

Blacksburg is booming for a football game.  Today this television crew, with ESPN on their sign, was interviewing customers at Lefty's.

Beautiful day.

Ready for Rehearsal

Choir practice will be around the piano.

Action on the wall

Crimper's Climbing Gym always has action.

Being interviewed for television news

Some of the young workers for the Y Arts and Crafts Fair were interviewed by WDBJ television station.  Wonderful art was available at the Fair.  

Movie about rock climbing

Crimper's Climbing Gym showed the film Reel Rock 10.  Climbers came to watch the documentary in the indoor climbing gym.

Great style

True, Blacksburg is not on the water, but these posts with their lakeside style, have been at Lefty's restaurant for a long time.  They are reminiscent of when the building was operating as a different restaurant.  I enjoy seeing them.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day ceremony at the Virginia Tech War Memorial Chapel.

Sunset

Trying to get a dramatic photo of a sunset.

Antique projector

The Super Simplex projector that was used at the Lyric Theatre was know as Murgatroid, according to the new book on The Lyric theatre.  The antique is in the lobby.
