Ghosts of Halloween Past

Posted on October 30, 2010 at 6:20pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Many (many!) years ago I took this picture of a friend of mine. It was at a Halloween party at a fraternity at my university.

I love the fall and I love getting outside and hiking and… Continue

Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day. In fact, it was one of those near perfect days that Virginia offers in the fall. We try to make sure we take advantage of those days whenever they happen.
