After a rather rainy last week, this past Saturday and Sunday actually turned out to be nice. I was out and about a little bit over the weekend, and as always I spent some time perfecting the act of snapping pictures from the window of a moving vehicle.

A sign of Spring. The color of yellow covers the southbound side of I-581/Route 220, a short distance before the Colonial Avenue exit.

I love this section of Grandin Road, especially during this time of the year.

Lots of road and blue skies ahead. A scene from Williamson Road/Route 11 in the Hollins area.

A brief note about me and taking photos

At best I’m just an amateur photographer. But, what I do like is to take still frames of what seems to be “everyday” or common scenes and occurrences. I bring the camera along and take pictures during a regular family gathering, instead of just during a holiday, birthday, or other special occasion. I snap photos around town on an otherwise seemingly boring early Spring afternoon.

Why?

I have determined that what is perceived as a common occurrence can also be perceived as so common as to be overlooked and thus more easily forgotten.

So, as part of my life’s activities I snap pictures (a lot of pictures) to help me remember. And, I post a few of them here from time to time.
