Everyone in the south is sooooooooo nice. I’m like the devil in comparison. Which means logically that I should expect someone will challenge me to a fiddle contest.

Only Stephen King fans will get that joke.

(This is actually an Amtrak, I believe, arriving alongside The Wells Fargo Tower in Roanoke, VA.)

I finally got the dam picture!!

Leave a comment

This is … a beaver dam?  I think?  I spotted it in the Roanoke River the other night … there were furballs of some kind down there, and I saw an enormous heron swoop down to join them. I shot video, but it was too dark to share.

Is it a beaver dam?  Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.  I won’t be embarrassed.  You know I am a native New Yorker, and have no acumen for Virginia fauna.  Maybe it’s a muskrat maze or ferret fortress or a nutria superstructure.  You tell me.
