WV Tree

Many of the hand blown WV glass ornaments were gifts from my daughter. My son gave me the tree

We lived in WV for fifteen years. I visit annually, usually for Charleston's Book Festival in October. The mountains are breathtaking then.

Writing: A writer needs to collect images as well as words. Living in West Virgina meant fog lying in the mountains like cobwebs, roads that rose so steeply that they seem to end in the sky and learning to trust your tires will find the way down, fossils older than dinosaurs littering the creeks, ghost stories and small houses with a million dollar view of the capital's gold gilded dome. Like a crow collecting shiny bits, I've stored these and many more images.
