Norfolk? Or San Francisco?

A very foggy morning here in that city by the "other" bay. Coming across the Berkley Bridge to work this morning I could not see a single building in downtown. Here are a few shots from my 8th floor office. In the last picture, you can barely make out the new Harbor Heights condo building.

Rainy Day in Norfolk

Thursday afternoon and the rain is really coming down! The NOAA weather report is calling for rain through Saturday. Not too many folks out and about right now!

Oak Lake Park

Each day on my way to and from work I pass by Oak Lake Park, a park not too far from my house. Yesterday I was zipping past at 65 mph and the sunset on the trees on the far side of the lake was simply unbelieveable! Today, being Veterans Day, I had the day off and was able to head over to the park to catch the sunset. I took Sammy with me and he agrees, it was well worth the trip! The next three posts have some photos from our jaunt to the park.

Dusk over the River

Coming home from Williamsburg the sunset over the mouths of the Elizabeth and Jeames Rivers was absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately we speeding along the bridge tunnel at 65 mph and couldn't exactly get a photo! As soon as we crossed the bridge we pulled into the Sunset Marina in Ocean View and got these pics. If you look really, really close, you can see Venus to the right of the moon.

Fall Foliage in Williamsburg

Margaret and I were able to get up to Williamsburg for a few hours this afternoon and I got a few shots of the leaves starting to do their 'fall' thing!

Don't Steal the Shopping Carts !

After returning home from Greenville on Sunday afternoon we pulled into Sam's Club to fill get some gas. Margaret saw this guy watching over the parking lot! I don't think I would want to steal any shopping carts with this guy on patrol! I've looked through a bunch of comparison photos on the web and I think this is a Peregrine Falcon guarding the carts. But none of the photos I looked through quite exactly matched this guy (girl) so I could be wrong. If anyone can clearly identify it, let me know.

More Falcon Shots

After a few moments guarding the parking lot from atop a shopping cart, the falcon (hawk?) flew into a nearby tree. Here are a few more shots.
