Barn window at Sky Meadow State Park in Delaplane, Virginia. Taken this past Sunday. #WindowFriday #Fensterfreitag
A six-painted rectangular window is in the top center of the wall of the barn. The barn wall is a weathered white with vertical wooden slats. Two of the window panes are missing; they look into total darkness.

Where is the footpath, you may ask. My wife (pictured) is walking on it. In fact, it is the #appalaciantrail near Bluemont, Virginia. #FootpathFriday
In the foreground is a seemingly random field of rocks extending all the way to the top of the image. At top center is a person walking up an incline of rocks.

My mother (far left) and her three sisters at my Aunt Sylvia's wedding (she's on the far right) circa 1952. Not sure where this happened but likely in the Philadelphia area. #throwbackthursday
Four young women (sisters) stand side by side in a black and white photo dated circa 1952. They are dressed formally in long dresses with two wearing corsages. They are all wearing regrettable head ornaments.
