This is what we see, looking off to the north from our Bedford residence in the early morning after a night of rain.

This is the view on the same morning, looking off to the southwest from our home, after a night of rain.

Another view from the edge of our driveway, looking off toward the southwest, in the direction of the town of Bedford. Our little lane (Hopes Way) takes us out to Forest Road (US 221) that connects Bedford with the neighboring towns of Forest and Lynchburg to the east.

Another view from under the trees in the front yard, looking off to the north and the Blue Ridge Mountains, just barely visible above the knoll of the hill between us and our nighbors, the Schutte's.

Spring time in Virginia! Pretty nice wouldn't you say?
