Sunday Bridges - Train Bridge
This is a "3 for 1" special! The first bridge is Humpback Bridge which I featured last Sunday (only open to foot traffic). You can see the ropes that people use to swing into the water on a nice hot summer's day. The middle bridge is the train bridge, complete with a train crossing and the 3rd (in the distance) is for vehicles!
Happy Superbowl Sunday!!
To see bridges from all over the world or to participate, visit world famous Louis La Vache!

Food For Thought Thursday - Golden Corral
Yesterday was my twin boy's birthday (the two cute little red heads in the pic) and they chose Golden Corral for their birthday meal which is an all-you-can-eat buffet, but I really think the reason they chose GC is the all-you-can-eat ice cream at the end!

Woodpecker Ridge
Took the boys on a GeoCache here on Sunday. Funny, I didn't even know this place existed and it's only a few miles from us! Will definitely need to make a visit back in the spring when things are blooming!
The Woodpecker Ridge Nature Center offers birders and nature enthusiasts numerous opportunities for wildlife watching. Features of interest to most visitors include a hawk-watch platform, feeding stations for songbirds and hummingbirds, and butterfly gardens. Trails meander from butterfly gardens through hardwood forests, spruce and cedar stands, open fields, and pond habitats. Buddleia, echinacea, and other blooming flowers in the gardens attract large numbers of butterflies.
For more info on Woodpecker Ridge and directions visit Botetourt County Tourism
AND.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my babies Braden and Dalton! Today they turn 9! Where did the last 9 years go?!!

February Theme Day - Fountains
Langley Fountain, Lynchburg, VA
Here, about 250 years ago, in the spring of 1757, John Lynch established Lynch’s Ferry. One of the city’s newest attractions now stands, or spouts, in the river at the exact spot where the founder’s ferry crossed the James River centuries ago. The three-year old jet d’eau, donated by a public-spirited citizen as a focus for riverfront renewal, was dedicated on August 20, 2004, and immediately became a major Lynchburg landmark, or watermark. Attached to a 19th -century stone pier that once supported a bridge across the James, and throwing a column of James River water 190' high, it is the highest such fountain east of the Mississippi. Critics have likened the water spout to a broken fire hydrant, which has a ring of truth when it is seen directly from the riverside. From a distance, however, and from other vantages points throughout downtown, the spray that rises above some of downtown’s tallest buildings adds a gossamer effect to the cityscape.
