"A Bluebird In A Blizzard" ... my latest photo ... captured this little sweetie the other day during our pretty little snowstorm (not exactly a blizzard, but one can hope!).

"Paddy's Irish Pub" ... my digitally hand painted (from my own photography) vision of a great local #pub in #CharlesTown, #WestVirginia ... just past #HarpersFerry in the #ShenandoahValley.

The artwork is available as wall art, puzzles, coffee mugs and more at my website: https://lois-bryan.pixels.com/featured/paddys-irish-pub-lois-bryan.html

I've been posting some straight photography lately, not digital paintings. Here's my most recent I call it "As High As An Elephant's Eye" referring to the cornfield of course. We do get some gorgeous skies here. This is one of my favorite barns, just down the road from our place, and has featured in at least one other of my images.

We popped out for a short while to a winery we've not been to before, Chester Gap in Front Royal, VA. On the way home we stopped by one of our favorite meaderies, Saga, to pick up a couple bottles of their new meads. We're home now and ready for coffee and a nap.

The Front Royal, VA surrounding area is really beautiful. It's also right next to the main entrance for Skyline Drive. If you're ever in the area, stop by.

Extreme drought conditions that developed in the #ShenandoahValley region now cover 4.44% of Virginia. The state is currently 56.06% in D1 or worse, up from 44.97%.

Dry conditions have contributed to #wildfires in #Virginia, leading Gov. Glenn Youngkin to issue an emergency declaration this week. As of Nov. 8, the #QuakerRunFire has affected about 3,700 acres total and is 40% contained, according to the Virginia Department of Forestry.

Honored that "Back Where I Belong" tied for third place in the 10/28/2023 "Monthly Feature" contest in the Digital Art and AI Art group. Many thanks to group administrator, Cindy's Creative Corner, and to everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners!!

It's about two weeks until peak fall foliage here in the north #ShenandoahValley.

We went over to the Museum of the #ShenandoahValley this morning to check out the LEGO sculpture exhibit.

Looks like it's going to be a pretty nice week in the #ShenandoahValley !

Winter weather advisory for parts of the #ShenandoahValley 8-4 Saturday for minor snow and ice accumulations possible. #vawx #Virginia

A little snow on the ground out here in the #ShenandoahValley. #Virginia
