I’m back.

Over the past few months, I can’t count the number of times I have experienced something around town or been in a situation when I wished that I had my camera. (Who’s going to say it never snows in Roanoke anymore?) During my time away from from this blog the past few months my mind still frequently filled with things I wanted to write about, as well as pictures I wanted to take.

However, for one reason or another my busy life took a greater hold of me and everything related to Noke News went on hiatus. But, I’ve missed blogging and I’m coming back. I hope those of who followed the blog in the past will consider following again. So, without further ado…

As far as weather, today wasn’t exactly the best day for me to begin blogging and taking pictures again. The sunny skies early in the week have passed and now there are plenty of clouds, and it’s a bit gloomy outside. Where there are plenty of clouds, there is usually rain and I think Roanoke is in for a decent soaking over the next several hours.

Nonetheless, I went out downtown during lunch and managed to snap a few photos:

A mist hangs over the top of Mill Mountain.

Benches in Elmwood Park seem worn and weathered from the particularly harsh winter this year. I doubt that will stop them from being occupied during the warmer months ahead, though.

During a rather gloomy day I did manage to find some color courtesy of the cars on this train and buildings in the background.

Have a great weekend!
