Weekend Reflections - C & O Heritage Museum

(click on photo to enlarge)

Taking you back to the C&O Heritage Center...I love all those colorful reflections! If I remember correctly, this train car was from the Vietnam Era. I remember Nick commenting on the military green and look to it.

Oh, and regarding yesterday's photo with the boys in shorts. Many of you commented on how cold it looks. I should have explained that that was last weekend and it was just a little cool starting out in the morning but turned into a pretty day. Not as cold as it looks! That pile of snow is left over from that big snow (almost 2 feet of it) a couple of weeks back. It's gone but a few parking lots still have a pile or two that refuse to go away! Today the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the temp will be in the 60's! Ahhhh spring!

Linking with Weekend Reflections....Happy Saturday! What fun things do you have planned for the day?

  2. This may be my favorite photo of Roanoke ever. I also love how the memes inspire us to be creative in looking at our communities. I love Weekend Reflections and ABC Wednesday and the City Daily Photo groups. They seem to be the most like "family." Have a great weekend. We're iced in down in Greensboro

  5. You got a lot of mileage out of your trip to the C&O Museum. We really enjoyed our visit there and plan to take some cousins next time they are in town. They like trains.
