Beautiful Virginia - Driving July 16, 2006

These are just some pictures that I took while driving today through the Virginia countryside. I had bright thought today and it stayed with me all day. How many times do we drive down the interstate in our own states and neglect to take some of the side roads. If I hadn't gotten off the interstate, I would have missed these sites. I have now decided that if I see something I would like, I'm going to take the time and get off the main road to see some of God's creations. If you miss that opportunity, you may never be by that location again in your life. "Take the Time".....

Here are some of the favorites.
