I carry our little camera with me just about everywhere we go, even when I am out mowing the yard. These are such beautiful, clear days as we enter into the first stages of this Fall season, I just had to stop the riding mower and take a picture.

This is looking north, back toward the Hodge home (our rental) from down the slope of the back yard, here on Hopes Way on the east side of Bedford, Virginia. Such a peaceful, pleasant place!

This is another view off to the south from the outside deck of our home on Hopes Way, at about 7:30 a.m. before the ground fog burns off with the rising sun.

It is not uncommon for us to wake up to the sight of considerable ground fog, misted about our home and the surrounding area while straight up we can see blue sky and a clear day.

In a short time the sun has burned away the mist and we have a bright and shiny day, with only a few scattered clouds; the air so fresh and clean.
