My wife drives by this lake every day to work and sees some awesome sunrises and sunsets. She always tells me about it, how great they are. A few weeks ago, on one of the weekends she suggested we drive up there in the morning and see if we get some interesting light. It was all foggy in the city so we thought that maybe we get some fog over the lake as well. By the time we arrived most of the fog went away, with some clouds lingering over the trees. Was not one of those days. We will try again.
I have a few more Fall photos in my archive that I want to post, and admit it, here on the East Coast US we are still in pretty much middle of the Fall. Even though all leaves are gone, trees are naked, but it is about 70F today in Northern Virginia, today is December 4th, mind you.
One day after work back in late October we went for a short walk at Reynolda Gardens, this is the only tree that was in some orange heat at that time. My wife was modeling for me, resting on the bench, good job!
I have seen a steady increase of visits to my site over the last 6 month. Till June. In June the total number of visitors dropped to half of what it was in May. I’m not really sure why there was such a dramatic change. Could be couple reasons that I can think of, first is related to the beginning of summer and most people getting away from computers, second is that WordPress modified how they count visitors to our blogs. I think in the past if the same person visited multiple pages on the blog, each of them counted as new visit. I suspect that they do not do that anymore and count only one visit from each person, no matter how many pages they look at. I might be wrong but this is the only logical explanation to such a huge drop in counted visitors.

Winston-Salem Baseball Stadium
Growing up in different part of the world I never played or seen baseball game till I came to US. While being here for almost 20 years I still barely know the rules and managed to see only 3-4 live games. Not my game at all. A few weeks back we finally decided to go check out new stadium in Winston-Salem NC, see the game and take some photos. My primary goal was to take fireworks photos, only to learn that they do them only on Fridays, and this was a Saturday game. We still had a good time, drank some good draft IPA and I took a few photos, this is one of them. Our home team won by big margin. I attributed it to my presence…they put it out for a first time visitor, making sure I come back on some future Friday and catch fireworks.
If you recall, in my yesterday’s post I mentioned about grey skies and rain. Well, weather man was right, it started snowing in the evening and it actually stuck to the ground. This morning we woke up to gorgeous blue skies with everything covered in beautiful white snow. This is the first for Winston-Salem during this winter. It seams like we had continuous Fall moving into Spring and finally we had some winter action. When I woke up I grabbed my camera and went to my backyard to snap a few photos. Have to document probably the only snow we will get here before it all melts down.
This is a continuation of murals series from around Winston-Salem. I have seen this one for a long time, just never had a chance to stop and take a picture, till now. I’m not a biker and actually never saw the movie, but when I see this building for some reason it always reminds the movie that I never saw. Kind of weird huh?
