Reston, VA Trip

Took a trip to Reston, VA for a class on UNIX/Linux Tools and Utilities for work. Was an interesting class.

I took some photos of the Reston Town Center. It reminds me of what Jacksonville wants its downtown to be - shops and restaurants on the ground floor, apartments and businesses above.

The photos are on my flickr site under the Reston, VA Trip set. I'd post a picture but the photos are on the other computer, not this one.

Long time, no see-um

Sorry it's been a while since I last posted.

Since my last post, I've taken pictures of the Dames Point Bridge.

Been having problems with either my knee or my foot or my ankle. Bad head cold for a while. Nyssa's Y-Pipe broke and needed to be welded. Went home for Christmas. A few other things here and there.

Still find myself more of a recluse than before, however.

But I decided to take a photo trip and do something I really wanted to do, ever since I started working in St. Marys, Georgia.

St. Marys is the "second oldest city in the U.S.A.", behind only St. Augustine, Florida. It was founded by the Spanish as their northernmost outpost (of Spanish Florida) in the 1500s. However, by the time of the late 18th century, the British colonists in Carolina had driven the Spanish south of the St. Marys River - which now demarcates the border between Georgia and Florida.



It's a nice little city which reminds me of Pineville back home. So I'd often tell myself that since I worked a few miles from this historic district, that I'd make sure and take some photos of the place.

Well, I finally did so.

I spent a couple of hours walking around the historic district and took a lot of photos of flowers, the historic buildings, the waterfront park, and the small marina. One day I plan on going out to Cumberland Island itself.
