Almost Halloween

I will be glad when it's gone actually so I can get my wind beaten decorations out of the front yard.

We have had some wind in the past two weeks off and on.  Just enough to blow things down and around. 

My cats

I light him up at night

I made this man in the moon two years ago. I didn't put my little bats up around him this year.  Maybe next year.

ChatGPT, I altered this picture

I took this a month or so ago at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond Va. and added the ghosts.

Another of a church I took in Bath County Va.

with and without ghosts

This castle in Heidelberg Germany I took in 2007 looks ghostly on its own without being altered. 

another view

It was a rainy evening there as we walked back from the Castle.  The camera I had didn't take the best pictures, but I got this one on that evening with some rain drops and a little snow.

I had to add a ghostly figure rising up from the street. 

 

A tree in Bath County Va and no alter here.  I can see a face in the tree.

Happy Halloween

Few days away Lexington Va.

My sister and I took a trip to Rockbridge County Virgina for some Genealogical research.

We stayed in Natural Bridge Hotel one night.

I am glad prior to being sold that I was able to take in the "Drama of Creation" that was inaugurated by Calvin Coolidge in 1927.  A night time light show.  I asked at the desk about this and was told that it wasn't being held anymore.  But the website visitroanokeva.com/events/illumination-of-the-bridge/48618/  says other wise.    

The leaves had just started in some areas to change color and many dead leaves falling from trees. 

Warm Springs in Bath county not far away. 

Jefferson Pools have been restored and back in service.  Fed by Springs with temp 98 degrees F.  Loaded with minerals that are good for the  body.

Oakleaf Hydrangea

The trees have just started to turn in this area

Inside was this picture.  I like the Norman Rockwell style (it's what I call it anyway) I don't know who painted it. 

Sitting on this sweet little porch looking out to the valley

A drive around Millboro to see the area my gr and gr gr grandparents lived.  This had to be hard living in the early 1800's.  No roads, just cart paths and homes few and far between.  Freezing winters and miserable hot summers is what I was thinking while taking in this very pretty area.

Old Millboro church

Old steps leading to church.  This place is closed and no trespassing sign on door. 

This pumpkin was sitting on a table in records room.  It looks like lace is glued to it and then sprayed.

I thought it pretty. 

Til next time
