A Melancholy Evening in Portland

Autumn Birches by Albert Bierstadt

Been feeling a little blue today, partly because I haven’t been feeling well, and partly because the loneliness has been creeping in while I was hanging out at the lounge. I was at the Portland Museum of Art for most of the morning, a pleasant surprise as I found most of the art to be…

From Blue Ridge to Roanoke

View of the Mountains from Blue Ridge Parkway

This post covers the events during October 23rd, as I traveled from North Carolina to Virginia. One of my goals was to spend at least a partial drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway while making my way towards Virginia. I was lucky in that the foliage was MUCH more pronounced here.
