I am endlessly trying to get juuuuuust the right photo of St. John’s Episcopal Church with the Mill Mountain Star in the background. I’ll probably never get there, but sometimes the results are fun.
As I’ve noted in the past, this is at the corner of Elm Avenue and Jefferson Street in Roanoke, Virginia.

I am not an excellent photographer by any means, but I’d like to think I got lucky with this set of pictures. I set out for a nice, long walk on a temperate Autumn Friday — and decided to cross Walnut Avenue Bridge for the first time. I was lucky, because the setting sun seemed to set Mill Mountain’s trees ablaze. (And I didn’t even realize I’d be treated to a great view of the Roanoke River beside it.) What a nice and unexpected turn of events at the end of a November day.
I’m sorry, as always, for the shaky-cam! (The bridge was shaking too.)

A good friend of mine, writer and editor Tara Bann, allowed me to make this meme of her peppy little doggo.
Look at that face. What a grin!

Her freckles entice —

whipped cream in coffee.
