Scenes of Roanoke - Remembering Warmer Days
I’m a bit of a hypocrite.
It wasn’t all that long ago when I mentioned that I had had enough heat and that I was ready for cooler weather. But, I had no idea at that time that after just a few days into December we would already have experienced several sub-freezing nights!
Last night was particularly chilly, with the temperatures dropping down into the 20s. What happened to the more moderate 40s? I can only imagine what January and February may be like.
Well, in the meantime, I went through some of my archive of photos and found a few from various (much warmer) times earlier in the year:
The Historic Gainsboro sign along Wells Avenue adorned with blooming flowers.
(Note: I explored the nearby section of Wells Avenue in a previous post.)
Mill Mountain full of trees with lively green leaves.
View along the Blue Ridge Parkway during warmer times.
A view of the Wachovia Tower and Mill Mountain as seen from Lick Run Greenway.

Your Lick Run Greenway Photo is fantastic.
There is actually green space around Roanoke!

Thanks, Chris. During the warmer months when I was able to get out more, I took literally probably hundreds of pictures around Roanoke.
Most I deem not blog-worthy, but sometimes I find a few gems. lol
