Photos, Video from Riverbend Park (Great Falls, VA); Open Thread
Sunday, February 5, 2012
Here are a few photos and video (on the "flip") from a short hike by my wife, Kelly, and me late this afternoon in Riverbend Park. It was relaxing and invigorating, but now that my head is clear, I have to decide who I root for in the Super Bowl: 1) New York, which is where I was born; or 2) New England, which is where I grew up (although Connecticut's split between Giants and Patriots fans). Hmmmm...maybe I'll just root for a good game! :)
P.S. Feel free to use this as an open thread to discuss the Super Bowl, Virginia's natural beauty, or whatever else you want.
The purpose of Blue Virginia is to cover Virginia politics from a progressive and Democratic perspective. This is a group blog, founded by me (Lowell Feld), but now including several other progressive writers. I can't speak for the other "front pagers," but I consider myself a progressive in the tradition of Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, JFK, RFK and actually a bunch of progressive Republicans (e.g., Jacob Javits, Lowell Weicker). As such, I believe in expanding opportunities to all, utilizing government as a tool to promote the general welfare and the common good, protecting the environment for ourselves and for future generations, and expanding the rights promised in our Constitution and Bill of Rights to all Americans.
I invite everyone to comment here, but please be aware that profanity, personal attacks, bigotry, and "trolling" are not allowed. Thanks, and enjoy!
