Uncle Joe

One of the most popular Uncles I have, Uncle Joe, who now sits in a wheelchair and doesn’t speak much is surrounded by family members during Thanksgiving.

 

West Point, Virginia

1-IMG_8912Over Thanksgiving, I went to Virginia to visit family.

I took a picture of the smoke rising from the paper mill factory. It was not a pleasant smell but as a photographer I like the smoke effect.

I wonder if this factory is the reason why my cousin who lives in the area have a bad case of asthma?

Mother Burks’ Cape

A member of my church, Mother Burks, has this very elegant blue cape. The material is very soft, like a cashmere and light.  The most beautiful thing about it is it’s hand-made by her daughter-in-law who stitched Mother Burks’ name onto the tip of the cape.
