I had the opportunity once again to visit the Virginia Scottish Games this year. They were located in The Great Meadow in The Plains, Virginia about 45 minutes from D.C. This is a very unique festival that anyone can attend with paid admission. They have multiple vendors setup with clothing, gifts and food.
I took this photo of a tiger on display at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington, D.C. during Labor Day weekend 2009.
We spotted this homemade toilet while leaving the Jimmy Buffet concert at the Nissan Pavilion over Labor Day weekend. I know it's gross, but it makes for a good laugh.
We recently stopped at this stand alone Starbucks Coffee near Canton, Ohio. It was conveniently located beside of an Einstein's Bro. Bagels, which made for a yummy pitstop!

I shot this photo back in January 2009 at Cunningham Memorial Park in St. Albans, WV. I spent an afternoon there taking photo's of different statues and enjoying the great details within each statue.
The Bank of Glen Jean is located in Fayette County, WV. Built in 1909, the bank operated until 1939. An interesting fact about this building, is that the exterior walls are 28 inches thick. It also has a roof and floor of steel construction. The addition in the rear of the building was added on in 1917.
Today I watched the Michael Jackson memorial service held in Los Angeles, Ca. It brought back many memories for me. Growing up I listened to Michael Jackson, Lionel Ritchie and many of the other Motown artists on a regular basis. I owned the Michael Jackson action figure, trading cards and of course his music. Today we honor the "King of Pop", The inventor of the "moon walk" and most importantly one of the greatest music artists on Earth. Rest In Peace MJ.

My wife thought this albino american alligator looked like white chocolate, but I really don't think she would want a bite of this guy. He looks pretty small in the picture, but is really about 10 feet long in person.

Close to Green Cove Springs, Florida is a old sea port that is used to repair old boats and ships. Here are a couple of the ships that were at dock on the day that I drove down to see the boats. I made this photo into a cartoon for effect, since the old ships were a little rough looking.
This is the Clay Theatre in Green Cove Springs, Fl. The last time that I visited this theatre was when Forest Gump was playing. The theatre is now for sale for 1.5 million.
We visited the Thurmond Raildroad Depot this weekend while in Fayette County. It was like stepping back into history. It's a beautiful drive with plenty of waterfalls and historic scenery.
St. Albans and the surrounding area's suffered flooding today. This photo is of the Washington Avenue underpass.
I saw these little guys crawling around there cocoon the other day. Definitely a promising sign that summer is on the way.
