Return to Oxford

I am back in Oxford until mid-September. While stepping off the bus and onto the cobblestones of Gloucester Green square, I was greeted by a surprise. What a joy it was to see so many flower baskets lining the streets and walkways. The English love their gardens; this week, the summer gardens seemed to hug the streets.

Half Blood Prince

I'm ready for November.

Luray Caverns

Last Sunday we visited Luray Caverns in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia.

A fallen stalactite:

My favorite scenic spot was the reflecting pool.

Totem pole valley:

"Wall-E!"

Holy crow, eh?

I have just returned from two and a half wonderful weeks in Ontario, Canada visiting Matthew and his family. Here are a few photos from the trip.

Beautiful Bella

While in Kingston, we attended a Holstein auction... with bbq, beer, live country music, and of course, cows! With not just two colors, but three!

Grandpa Murphy's lake cottage.

Beautiful and serene.

Matthew's mom and me relaxing at the beach on Lake Ontario.

This is the season for weddings. We attended two while I was visiting Canada.

The groom and best man looking very dashing before the wedding.
