This will be the first of what may be several themed blog posts. I took more than 600 photographs during the several days we spent in Virginia. The trip culminated in our two day trek along "Lee's Retreat" from Petersburg to Appomattox. So look for that post in the days or weeks ahead.
My first post, surprise, will focus on birds I photographed up there. But let's start with this critter encounter: a fox seen in my parents neighborhood, which is near Wicomico Church, Va.
What a surprise to see this beautiful, healthy looking fox in daylight.
Glad I had my camera with me!
