Skywatch Friday:
I Can See for Miles and Miles

(be sure to click to enlarge)

This is the scene I pass when I travel out my rural road (the one in my header) headed for the main road that will take me "downtown." I was standing on that road looking down into the valley when I took the picture. If you look closely you can see in the lower right hand corner that the landowner has his own business not far from his home. The water of the nearby pond is almost always the emerald green color you see.
Looking just behind the trees in the lower left of the photo you can see the Little Kanawha River that flows toward nearby Parkersburg, West Virginia. When the Little Kanawha reaches Parkersburg it joins the Ohio River.

I am truly blessed to be able to view this wide expanse of land and sky every day of the week.

Happy Skywatching Dear Friends!

    Perfect little country road ... unfortunately, the only "I can see for miles and miles" thing I can do is listen to THE WHO song ... had I the chance to really see for miles and miles and I would be a happy man!

    What a wonderful view! You are indeed lucky! I'd love to live in a spot like that.

    I am a school teacher looking retirement in the eye! I figure to give it 5 more years to make 30 years of teaching.
