St John’s Cemetery Pt I
Yesterday, I shared some pictures of St John’s Church here in Richmond. Today (and tomorrow) I have some photos of the cemetery around the church. I really enjoy photographing cemeteries and seeing the different styles of headstones. I hope you like the shots I got!
St John’s Church
Today, I have a collection of photographs I took at Richmond’s Historic St. John’s Church. This church was the location of Patrick Henry’s famous “Give me liberty or give me death” speech. It is also the oldest church in Richmond. The church is still open today for religious services, but history buffs (or cemetery enthusiasts)Continue reading “St John’s Church”

It happened to be walking along side the wildlife loop road we were driving on. I hope you like the pictures I got ofContinue reading “Northern Bobwhite”
There Might Have Been Some Egrets
Today I have a collection of photographs I took of the egrets I saw in Chincoteague. They were by far the bird species I saw the most. Several of them were polite enough to pose for me. I hope you like what I was able to get!

Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge Pt I
Today I have the first set of photographs I took at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. The weather that day was kind of iffy and we got obliterated by mosquitoes (even though we had bug spray on). In spite of the weather and the bugs, we had a great time! I would definitely reccomend this areaContinue reading “Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge Pt I”

From here we were able to go to the Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge. It is also very close to the Assateague Island National Seashore. For today’s post,Continue reading “Chincoteague Island, Va”
