Alternative Valentine’s Day

Go Foxburg! — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 14:10:57 +0000

A few days before July 24th, 2008 I had been trying to capture the “best view” of the old Foxburg Bridge that my modest Minolta Dimage Z1 would afford. Then I noticed this little flower planted among the bushes on the edge of the river. After assuming some awkward positions in an [...]

The Emlenton Creamery: 1st Step in the Emlenton Mill’s Revival

Go Foxburg! — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 19:13:11 +0000

The day was beautiful. The sun was warm and bright, a subtle breeze gently brushed over the skin and the clouds formed shapes of enormous animals in the sky! The conditions were perfect for ice cold relief. As my husband and I parked our car on Main Street in Emlenton in front of the Old [...]
