New Steel

New steel ready to be put in place on the Nitro side of the bridge.  Some steel is already up on the Saint Albans side.  I can't wait 'til it's done!

Greenhouse Abstracts

Baby Birds

Our friend Roger has nest full of baby sparrows at his greenhouse.  I was up there the other day getting my tomato plants and he showed them to me.  I didn't have my camera then so I told him I'd come back and bring it and Kim and Molly so they could see them too.  There are three of them in the nest and the mom and dad really kick up a fuss when somebody gets close.

Tom Hindman (Charleston Daily Mail photographer) had been at Roger's getting some plants earlier this week and he got some pictures of them too.  Now the babies are famous because Tom put their pictures in the paper.  :-)  Click here to see some really cool shots Tom has taken over the years.

Zoar Cemetery

The view from Zoar Cemetery at Keslers Cross Lanes near Summersville, WV.  One of Kim's family members had passed and we went up for the funeral yesterday.  I want to go back up there someday next winter when there's a big snow on and get another picture from the same spot.  Click on the panorama for a better view.

Chrysler Building

This might be the last one I post from our recent NYC trip.

Thirteen

A photo of my baby girl the day after the banquet, where she and Justin were dressed to the nines.

Banquet Night

Pictures before the Teays Valley Christian School Junior / Senior banquet.  My baby is growing up.

Zuccotti Park

This is the park that was overcrowded with protesters from the "Occupy Wall Street" movement.  We got some pizza right across the street and ate it in the park, then rode the subway to Times Square.

Half Staff

The flags at the World War I Memorial in Nitro are at half staff in honor of the victims of the Boston Marathon Bombing.

15 Seconds Of Fame

The girls got their pictures up on a big screen in Times Square.

Pictures On A Door

Lucky Thirteen

Man, talk about going out in the middle of nowhere to play softball!  We did last night.  The Lady Lions played the Lady Wildcats of Hannan High School in Mason county.  Cat fight!!!  I'd never been in this area of WV before even though it's not really that far away.  Click here for a satellite image of the area.  It's really pretty out there.

That's my baby girl up to bat.  She's turned out to be one of the best, if not the best, hitter on the team.

New York City Bulidings

Teays Valley Christian School Lady Lions

The Lady Lions lost this evening to the Ladies from St. Joseph Central Catholic High School in Huntington.  This is the first year for TVCS to have a girls softball team and even though they lost today it seems like the practices are really paying off and they're coming together as a team.

No Standing

I made this photo on Broadway near Chinatown.

Freedom Tower

This shot was from our hotel in Jersey City.

Chinatown

We spent a couple hours in Chinatown on Tuesday afternoon.  Talk about an interesting place.  I would love to go and spend a whole day there exploring.  The little girl was at a shop on Bayard St.  Kim had stopped there to look at a jade elephant (she likes elephants) and she came out and spoke to us.  She and her mom and dad were very nice.

World Trade Center

The building on the left is One World Trade Center and the building on the right is the U.S. Post Office.  I'm not sure which WTC building the other one is.  I made this photo from the cemetery of Saint Paul's chapel.
