Local Historical Pics and Images of the New River Valley.
I have compiled a collection of some of the best local books available. In these books you will find historical images from Christiansburg, Blacksburg, Radford, Giles, Pearisburg, Virginia Tech and more. These books are a treasure trove for the curious mind. I have been digging through these books recently, and I have discovered numerous... »
A Triple Mutated Gerbera Daisy in Christiansburg, Virginia.
I discovered a mutated Gerbera Daisy growing in Christiansburg yesterday and thought I would post some pictures for everyone to enjoy. Mutated flowers have been recorded throughout history in the form of double mutations, but I couldn’t find any records of flowers with triple mutations. I suspect that a flower with a triple mutation... »
VDOT Salt Truck Flips Over, Wrecks on Den Hill Road in Christiansburg
At about 7 a.m. this morning on Den Hill Road, a VDOT snowplow flips over on its side, spills its load of salt and blocks both lanes of traffic. Like many other icy roads in Virginia, Den Hill has become difficult for even the best of us to navigate. It appears that the driver... »

A Coca-Cola for Only 5 Cents. Pulaski, Virginia.
During my recent trip to Pulaski, I came across this old advertisement offering bottles of Coca-Cola for only 5 cents. Normally, when I find old painted ads like this, I often find them deteriorated or tainted with graffiti, but this one was surprisingly well preserved. »
Pregnant Doe in Shawsville, Virginia.
I was riding through Shawsville, on Boners Run Road, when I spotted this young doe standing on the side of the road. I could tell that she had a few extra inches around the waist, but I couldn’t tell if she was pregnant or just a little chubby. She sure looks pregnant to me.... »
A Heart in The Sky Over the New River Valley
This is an image of the moon that I captured near the CrossPointe, Four Square Church and Confrence Center, in Christiansburg, Va. I just happened to be driving by, and when I noticed the beautiful glow of the early evening moon, I stopped and hurried to get out my camera. I have never experienced... »
