Stone House Lake Park, Amherst, Virginia





I am not sure where the Stone House was ...maybe some where else, we never saw one?! On 6/1/2015 we got out on our kayaks & enjoyed a nice day on the lake. A thunderstorm did get us off the waters, quicker than we would have liked but??!


Check out this vlog of the day. Beth ( :

Beautiful! Seeing those videos from on the water makes me wish I didn't have the fear of water that I do.

We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you...
