Overlooking the Potomac

The Virginia shore in the distance.

Harfleur

Early on a Saturday morning.  
Trying to write and finish my fourth novel.  Coffee cup is close at hand.  It is barely 0700.  You would think with a head that big, something, anything would be germinating.  
"Once more into the breech, dear friends, once more."

Limbo

A good jumper.  Limbo Rock was his full name.  

Scaring the Horses

Looking for trouble.

Hound walking

Everybody needs a little attention.

Trail Ride.

At Mount Victoria, today.

Graduation Day

Looking at a yellowing photograph of a long ago day.  Remembering who was in the seats watching a time of promise.  Even though as I recall, it was a cloudy and overcast sky.  
Seems like it just happened yesterday.
Those spectators are long gone.  For us, the living, we take their places in the chairs on the green grass, and the actors come on the stage repeating the performance.

Getting old.

A bout with the norovirus really laid us low.  A beautiful weekend slid by untouched and unappreciated.  Now, a rainy Monday is upon us.

Bad attitude.

Andy giving me the evil eye.

Wildfire

Off we go.  Putting the new boy through his paces.

Working away on 1745

Bonnie Prince Charlies from the Gallery of Historical Figures.


This site is fantastic, it brings the characters to life, and makes writing about them easier than just looking a dusty old portraits.  If you are a fan of history, go and take a quick tour.  


I highly recommend it.


Up to page 252 in 1745 House of Gallowglass.  Making better progress now that my research is complete.
