The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

The Eagle Has(n't) Landed (Jack Higgins)... The Duck Has!


                                                    
The Chrysler Museum, in the background, is Norfolk's greatest attraction. The museum recently opened after extensive renovations.  To help celebrate, the Duck came to town. Had interesting comments to our local online paper: Yes, many making fun of the Duck.  Some questioning, What is art, and so on?

It seemed a great day for all. Everyone seemed in a good mood
and, of course, wanted their picture taken with the Duck.
The place was mobbed...I parked about a mile from the Duck.

Note: I took a bunch of black and white snaps. Yes, they were all of folks taking and having their pictures taken. Not sure what happened, the composition was OK but they looked like the devil. Washed out and one looked as though a piece of the Duck's head was missing. My processing software is basic and I'm not skilled. So, unless I can figure out a way of saving them, then this is it.
