Spring! At last!

I just checked the weather forecast for the next 10 days and I think Spring is finally and really here!  I love it when the trees put on their fresh green leaves.  

And the Dogwoods bloom!

A Bridge Going No Where

This story was originally published 1/22/14 - worth posting again.

There are a lot of unique things about Paris Landing, but one of the things we have that you may not find anywhere else is a bridge that goes nowhere.

So ... here's the scoop.

A unique view of the new McWherter Bridge seen through the old Fitzhugh Bridge

It's scary to think this old bridge was actually two lanes.

Just imagine two big old trucks passing each other on this.

The old bridge is located inside Paris Landing State Park.

About Fall

Fall Is Here In All It's Glory!

You should come see it!

Coming Soon! Fall!

It's September!  One of my favorite months because I know before the month is over, it will start to look like Fall in my neighborhood.  

I took this photo a few years ago over at Sweetvalley.  I love all the Fall colors in it, the leaves scattered across the road ... and the curve in the road that makes me want to see what's around that corner.  

I love Fall at the Lake.

No rain for a change is nice.

Bird Feeding and Petunias

Bird Feeding is a major activity here at Paris Landing.

It's easy to think you might have the whole lake to your self.  And then the peace and quiet is broken when you catch this.

Thanks to John Peddy for the photos.

Weather Report

We've had some very foggy mornings lately.

I promise ... there is a really big lake out there somewhere.

The sun trying to come through.  If you look close you can barely see a fisherman

right in the middle of this gorgeous ray of light.

Then .... all of a sudden -

The fogs lifts and you wonder where all those boats came from.
