If you haven’t been to Charlottesville, Virginia, you are missing a treat. It is one lovely university town. Last weekend we went up into the hills to pick apples, and the view from there shows just how the large town conceals itself in vegetation…Those hills on the other side of the valley are the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the next valley over is the Shenandoah.
If you look very carefully at the bottom photo you will see a number of black spots in the sky – these were Turkey Vultures circling on the thermals.

Tomorrow tune in for a post on writing a query letter…with a successful example and lots of links.
