The trails @ Mill Mountain Star . Roanoke

A couple of weeks ago, you might remember, the boys and I went to the star as it was lit to honor the tragedy in Paris...we then took the trail down and I just had the best time with all 3 of my boys. Christian was tired from work and school and a social life but being the good sport he is said he'd tag along with us...I know these days are far and few between now but I really do cherish the memories that I will never forget....

It's All In The Details

Walking under the bridge @ the Roanoke Star (Mill Mountain Star)...one thing I've noticed since moving here is that Roanoke just loves to have several different names for a thing, especially street names...anywho....

I was drawn to these little pretties...

Now in B&W...Kind of looks like a pretty little cake with frosting dripping down :) Or maybe I'm just hungry!

“Everything made by human hands looks terrible under magnification--crude, rough, and asymmetrical. But in nature every bit of life is lovely. And the more magnification we use, the more details are brought out, perfectly formed, like endless sets of boxes within boxes.”

The Mill Mountain Star lights changed from white to blue, white & red to show support for France. I took the boys on Sunday afternoon but of course since it was daylight the star was off but to see it lit up for France Click Here
