Mount Sidney Moon

I would call these pictures "Night Comes to the Shenandoah" if I were titling them. I spotted this picture opportunity on Monday evening as Georgiann and walked Daniel. So tonight, I took along my camera and large tripod. I took about 30 pictures varying the settings to try to pull the mountains out of the haze. Not a very successful effort. I will have to wait on a clear evening just after a good rain to get that. The valley is often difficult to shoot as the eye sees it because of the haze from all of the vegetation. I could have tried some filters, but didn’t have them with me.

Work is looking up. I am learning so much. Fun to learn. Although I will get to test that theory in depth Thursday and Friday. I am going to Charleston, WV for two days of seminars that will help me complete 6 hours of my Masters degree. An all day session for each, a proctored test at the end of each day, a number of books to read after the seminar and a 2500-3000 word paper to write are the requirements.

A friend of mine has invited me to speak at the United Brethren Church he pastors for a Homecoming service on October 28. A humbling request but one I feel lead to fulfill. Come join us if you like. It is the UBC on 5th street in Staunton. Thanks for looking in. Be sure to visit Jill’s blog, linked from this one.

1/2 Bath Project

Here are two pictures of the progress on our half bath in the basement which sits between the family room and the utility room. Sort of a box cut out of the utility room but accessible from the family room. We decided to finish it and put the litter box in it as well. To protect the human users from the feline users, we will enclose the litter box in a large box of it's own, with full access for cleaning. On the utility room side of the vanity wall will be a deep sink. Thus the water and drain lines on that side.
