This was the view when I stepped out the back door of our old house. That night the tree line was beautiful, dark branch spokes against a gray-blue sky. Posted 3/13/16.
Here’s that view again. This time it was the clear midnight blue sky and bright round moon that caught my eye. Posted 3/27/16.
Seeing this cliff jumper take his leap in Kauai was breathtaking. You can almost feel the air rushing past his face and anticipate the cold plunge into the ocean. Posted 3/19/17.
Have you ever sat and looked out at a space so vast? Land that goes on as far as the eye can see…it’s enough to take your breath away. Photo taken in Wyoming at the Grand Tetons. Posted 3/25/18.
I took this photo with a zoom lens. It was a protected part of the beach and if I looked hard enough I could just make out the turtle creeping close to the water’s edge. Photo taken in Mexico. Posted 3/24/19.

We don’t get back to UVA very often. We took the kids to see a home game in December 2019 and I snapped this shot on our brisk walk to dinner on the Corner. Blue skies don’t always mean warm weather – my toes were pretty chilly by the time we arrived. Posted 3/22/20.
These are wonderful. Happy memories

Thanks, Keith! Yes, we did. Graduated back in the ’90s. Feels like a million years ago now. 😆

Laura, I remember visiting the quaint downtown area. For some reason, I remember a hardware shop that doubled as a restaurant. We also took our kids to Monticello on another trip. It is sad to think that Charlottesville will be remembered as the site of that terrible riot. Keith

Oh The Hardware Store was our favorite restaurant!!! We went back for a reunion one year and was devastated to learn it had closed. That was such a fun place. Watching the Charlottesville riot was a surreal experience – I was looking at the sidewalks I walked as your average college kid but it was covered with hate spewing boys. Unbelievable.
