Coming to Picnic and Trying to Post Photos Soon!
It's been way too long. Although we have not been able to spend much time in WV with the move, new job, new baby, etc. I do have nature photos to share of herons, kestrels, etc. and will get those posted. In the meantime, anyone with local photos they would like to share please do!
See you all soon!
Glenn
See you all soon!
